Same here. I got two and they cleared out what was probably 100+ in less than a week…Then my Flame Hawk cleared them out.

I got two, they cleared out all aiptasias.

Then they cleared out my rock flower anemones.

Then they cleared out a feather duster.

Then I starter to see them hitting the glass attempting to eat copepods.

Those shrimp thought they were in a Tarantino movie.

During the entire time, I feed them pellets too.

The aggression was always happening overnight.

When the lights were out the death squad was out riding the rocks.

After losing countless Copperband butterflies, I need another solution for managing aiptasia.

If you have a source of peppermint shrimp that you’ve witnessed eat aiptasia, please tell me the source. I’m ready to purchase several of them.

Aquariums and Reef Center on Boy Scout drive, in Ft. Myers, FL. They ate aiptasia until my clownfish ate them

It worked!!!


Look at the clam, between the clam and acan:

And now!

i was skeptical about them too and 2 in my tank wiped them out in 2 days.

peppermint shrimp were only good with cocktail sauce. Berghia worked for me.

I quarantine shrimp with aiptasia. They will learn to eat them when they are hungry. Once they go into the reef though, mine will slow down eating aiptasia and eat more fish food and pods. Peppermints are pods vacuums at night.

ive heard they eat zoas....only reason i havnt gotten them.
