Added Three Peppermint Shrimp Into The Tank

They have already eaten the aiptasia around the bubble coral and beneath the duncan. Thinking of Keeping one after all the aiptasia are gone, and using the bottle trap for the other two. Your recommendations please. Thanks all

Personal preference... they are useful cleanup crew. In my opinion they rarely sleep, but prefer nighttime hunting and will be daytime active if there is a cave or overhang, which you seem to have. Mine will even venture out during day onto sand (into light) if there is a tempting piece of food fish had not (yet) eaten.

You can keep all three you have right now, you can trap and rehome some, YOUR TANK, YOUR personal preference...

They are omnivores and eat just about anything including detritus, leftover food (your chromis will miss some especially if you target feed) organic material, etc. I'm like Fish Think Pink and enjoy them for what they bring in terms of diversity, cuc, aiptasia suppression, etc.

My shrimp group are obsessed with the PE dry pellet food. I credit their excellent health to throwing in a little of that daily to make up for whatever they aren’t “cleaning up” also my blood shrimp is a diva and it pretty much only eats the pe pellets and the occasional unlucky hermit or snail

They pretty much croaked the aiptasias who were stinking a few of my corals.
