You guys probably heard this question a lot but i want to see everyones experience on it. Im dealing with aiptasia and i cant have nudis due to my wrasse. I ordered 3 big ones from reeftopia. If i kept them well fed will they eat my corals? Also how do i keep them well fed?

Every Peppermint Shrimp I’ve ever had ate coral once they got big. Usually seemed to prefer LPS.

Was it a specific species? Like i heard lysmats are the safest ones
Tried so many. Usually in groups of 5+ if that makes a difference. They are a pain to get back out too. Last group maybe half fell for trap, quarter I was able to net, rest got speared.
