No problems except them stealing food. Mine do not really bother my anemones much since the clowns are good about protecting it. Like all shrimp they are opportunist and will use their tiny claws to pull food from the throat of LPS. That aside peppermint shrimp unlike cleaner shrimp i think are know to eat bad anemone. So some may not be choosy. Mine never bothered with good or bad ones. If feel strange about it banish the shrimp to the sump.
I was going to do that today if they were still bothering it. But just got home and they are no where near it so this is good. Hopefully when my clowns take interest to it they will leave it be when I target feed it. But now the bta is backed underneath a rock I can see it but the lights don't hit it. And can't see the beautiful color under the blue moons considering it's a rainbow BTA with a green mouth it seems

Yeah man I had 2 peppermint nearly destroy my rose. Took me a while to figure out it was them. They would pounce on it and rip the tips off the tentacles. Now, the peppermints have been sumped and my poor rose is bleached and hating it.
