When i use to have a cleaner shrimp he ate everything. Mysis, brine, algae, and flakes.

they are scavengers and will pick up whatever the fish leave behind. However its not a bad idea to supplement their diet with occasional direct feedings. THey will eat just about anything as koletanz pointed out.

Maybe some Iodine dosing to help it molt properly? Other than that, they eat just about everything. When I used to own one, I never fed it directly. There were too many fish and whatever I fed the fish or corals, the shrimp would eat too.
