Peppermint Shrimp Reef safe??

Same scenario for me. They destroyed my RFAs

Yep. And I've tried both the proper species and improper. They go to town on those puppies.

Peppermints have worked for me, but they are hit and miss when it comes to their picking on coral. They ate my rock anemones.

I later got berghia nudibranchs and they got the job done. It took them a long time, but they got it done.

Your story is a mirror of mine! Haha

Good morning,

I have been dealing with Aiptasia for the longest time. So I caved in and bought a aiptasia file fish. So far he has been no good. He has not bother eating any of the aiptasia. So I have been going in with the Aiptasia X still.

So I have caved and bought a peppermint shrimp. Without thinking I did not research about it. I just know they will eat Aiptasia. My question is, is peppermint shrimp coral safe??

Currently experimenting with affordable, high-power laser(ing) of aptasia. So far so good, a bit dangerous if you aren't careful, but no more expensive than a filefish or shrimp and much longer lifespan. Plus the laser doesn't die when the aptasia is all gone like the filefish will.
