Just put two peppermint shrimp in my 16 gal BioCube hoping they will eat the aptasia. There are only two fish both Yellowtail Damsels. The largest of the Damsels is a bully. It has chased the shrimp into the upper right hand corner of the tank. Will they come down and feed at night when the lights are out? Apologies for the bad photography.

Whenever I've utilized peppermint shrimp they always feed at night. Should come down at lights out or find a spot elsewhere.

Glad to hear. The aptasia isn't out of control and I don't want it to get that way.

The shrimp have rid my tank of aptasia. Now all my corals are happy.
