Shrimp only feed on marimo and ignore food?

Hi everyone, recently just planted in a marimo and seems like the shrimps are more keen on feeding on that rather then food that i drop in?

I just bought a new bottle of mosura food, even they are not interested in it, try back old food they also don't bother....

I'm not quite sure what type of shrimps you keep, but most dwarf shrimps don't feed on the marimo ball per se, but on the micro-organisms hiding in or on it. starving them for a few days might start them on your mosura food..
