If you don't have aiptasia and get peppermints just make sure you spot feed them so they don't steal food from your corals mouth and cause major damage. IMO not worth having if you don't have any aiptasia in your tank they almost always bother corals. Epically LPS. don't want to scare you just keep a good eye on them epically when it's lights out.

I fully admit to already being a bit of an over feeder. I'll watch them and pull them if I think they are an issue. Although it looks like Gurgle the royal gramma has already decided they don't belong in her tank, so we'll see.

Haha. I have a royal gramma named Fun Dip. It definitely takes the alpha role near feeding time.

I’d rather have Aiptasia then peppermint shrimp

Those are definitely brittle stars.
