Get yourself some freeze dried Krill. Then feed a piece to the shrimp before you start feeding your Acan. The Krill will keep the shrimp busy long enough for the Acan polyps to swalow the food.
I've also used a plastic rod to poke at the shrimp if he comes near my Acans while feeding. But that can be very time consuming.
