Make sure you find out what it is eating now. You may or may not be able to get it to feed in your aquarium.

thats true...these guys are slow eaters....and in a big tank ...it might be harder to target feed him...but if he acclimates well to the tank and no fish picks on him..then he will start to come out when he smells food...i had one in a 46 bow and he used to come up to the tank for food..

they also like to kinda rest on things so they might get stung on from coral

would dwarfs be a danger to full grown shrimp?

Maybe, fish are unpredictable.
