Peppermint shrimp

by saratang

Do all peppermint shrimp get rid of Aiptasia? Thinking about investing in some if they do but probably need to find somewhere else to buy them. They seem outrageously priced at my LFS. How much are yours selling them for?

You'll hear different stories on whether or not they will, so it's not a guarantee.. Some people suggest peppermint shrimp will prefer to eat young aiptasia and leave the older ones that don't taste as good. Some claim if you prevent the peppermints from getting a hold of the fish food that you'll have some success with the picky peppermints that seem to ignore aiptasia, but I'm not sure I'd want to risk starving them.
