Do cleaner shrimps eat pods?

[knutcracker]

basically, all i have in the tank is a cleaner shrimp and i am wondering if he will deplete my pod population (any kind of pod)? if so, i will consider feeding the tank. TIA

BTW, my tank is up and running again, with the addition of new LR, the algae problem has almost all disappeared.

I have two cleaners in my tank and IMO they eat just about everything. I have watched them sticking their pinchers in the holes on live rock. I'm sure they were hunting pods.

Yes, cleaner shrimp eat pods.

I'd spot feed my cleaner shrimp with freshly hatched brine shrimp.

If you have begun to add your clean-up crew, you should begin feeding the tank. The introduction of food begins the activity of other bacteria, too. See this for a suggested sequence of progressing the tank towards maturity, even if your ultimate goal is a reef:
