I do not go out of my way to feed the cleaner shrimp in my tank; and frequently they seek out and hunt the pods, it's fun to watch them do it.

I was thinking more along the lines of smaller shrimp like pepermints or sexys. Though a cleaner would be nice to add too. Hey if they eat the pods while their at it, I'm all for it. But again I worry about the size of say the pepermints, because some of those pods are pretty close in size.
... As you see 10 try and kill each other over 1 chunk of a pellet...

Your pods are the size of peppermints??? I think you need a new ID on those "pods"

I see shrimp as being delicate since I've never had them before, and with pods that are exceeding 1cm in size not extended, that are bulldozing their way past everything and stealing food from the larger nassarius snails... I would sure as hell compare them in size to the smaller species of shrimp. I didn't say full grown sexys or pepermints however... But still these things are nuts. Besides anything I've seen at JL shrimp wise has been tiny, so what else do I have to compare to.

Well, while not really as big as shrimp, those are good sized bugs!! But I'd think any adult shrimp would be fine getting enough food.
