Shrimp Family (Knowledge)

[borrowedthemoon]

Hello coral friends!

I have an infestation of alviopora, and was asking if I can introduce a peppermint shrimp to my family, given it's current inhabitants. Asking for any suggestions for doing so. Thank you for taking your time to read this!

Modifications:
I have a very healthy 7 month old Fluval 13.5 w/ AI Prime, Aquatic Life 151 Skimmer, upgraded flow pump, and inTank 2 mod.

Tenants:
★Cleaner Shrimp★
★Benggai Cardinalfish★
★Purple Dottybach★
★Long Tentacle, Rock Flower Anemones★
★Multitude of snails, crabs, and 1 conch★
★Array of many different coral species★

All criticism is good criticism!

I think they are pally's, not alvio's. Are you asking if the shrimp will eat the pally's?

Based on pictures and mention of peppermint shrimp, I think OP meant aiptasia.

This looks like aiptasia to me…. Peppermint shrimps aren’t going to eat those, they are way too big. They will help for the future though, by eating small ones.

There are many methods to kill aiptasia if you do a search. Next time don’t let it get so bad, as they reproduce really fast.
