I have 2 of them.. and yes they do eat sexy shrimps! Mine are in a smaller tank and they do not like each other at all.
They are a very hardy fish and mine eat anything offered to them. They also dont jump as some anthias do. Im sure it will survive the bus ride just fine.
However, being a deep water species they are prone to swimbladder problems. My smaller one developed this months ago. It doesnt seem to bother him too much as he still eats like a pig, but his new name is Bob
Since he tends to float now, hes adapted to hooking his fins into the rocks and seems to get by ok. He has a noticible bubble on one side. I watch him closly and if he ever seems distressed I may try a small gauge needle and see if I can asperate some air out.. but for now he gets by just fine. I have also read that in goldfish feeding flakes at the surface may cause them to swallow air.. which makes sense in my case, as his favorite food was floating flakes, and I used to remark how he fed like a big mouth bass at the surface, So you may want to stay away from floating flakes.
