Spend 8 bucks on peppermint shrimp you wont see them anymore.

Yes is it true that peppermint shrimp eat aptasia

Peppermint shrimp are hit or miss.

There are a few fish that are good at removing them.

I adore mine. The most important thing is to get one that is super healthy and already eating very well. Then you just have to make sure they have access to food because they are very slow eaters. I do this be keeping powerheads on and letting the food be like a snow storm. The fish are busy chasing food and don’t eat it all before the slower eaters get some. Mine is pretty bold now and will wait it’s turn to eat a clam when I put one in. And he never touches my Maxima clams. But maybe I got lucky on that.

The peppermint shrimp will most likely got rid of all the apitasia in your tank but the shrimp itself could be a nuisance lol. I had to have mine moved to the sump because it was constantly harassing my corals and stealing all their food. Now i am more careful with my stocking. Happy reefing everyone!

Hopefully you’ll never have Aptasia and you won’t have to worry about it!
