Trigger won’t touch them BUT. A blue head kleini butterfly will wipe them out like candy and when gone will eat all dry and frozen foods- colorful and friendly

Peppermint shrimp are also very hit-or-miss. Or -- perhaps more accurately -- there are a number of lookalike shrimp species that are very often sold as Peppermint shrimp, but aren't, and won't touch the aiptasia. Or they're tank-bred, and don't know what a pest anemone looks like. Or they're binging Netflix during the pandemic and have developed more sophisticated palates.

None of the "Peppermints" that I bought from three different Canadian vendors touched my aiptasia.
