I recently bought two peppermint shrimp to rid my tank of approximately 25 aptasia… and they got them all within 48 hours! (at least the visible ones)
Now… they are irritating the crap out of my purple stylo, and I enjoy the coral more than the shrimp.
I have caught one and have him floating around in a specimen container. The other one has proven more difficult to catch.
Once I catch the other one, I don’t necessarily want to get rid of them in case the aptasia returns. However, I don’t want them irritating my corals.
Thoughts on what I should do? I do not have a sump to put them in as my tank uses HOB filter. I do have a 10 gallon tank w softies, but there is a neon dottyback in there that would most likely make them a snack.
I could always return them to the store and if needed buy them back, they are only $15 but this option is a PITA.
Anything thoughts or comments are appreciated!
