When I first put my Tube Anemone into my invertebrate quarantine tank my peppermint shrimp immediately popped out from hiding and went to town eating its tentacles. So I quickly setup a tank divider and placed all peppermint shrimp on the other side. My question is simply what is the compatibility with peppermint shrimp and tube anemones? I felt like if left things to see what would play out the peppermint shrimp would've killed the tube anemone quickly. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks for any input.

I can only speak of personal experience, but the peps in my tank have never bothered my tube nem. Could simply be that I've been lucky.
 
older post but my pep shrimp did the exact same thing to my RBTA soon as i added it, what did you end up doing? if you removed the pep how did you??? thats the issue im currently having removal.
