I put it in tank to police Aptasia. At first, I thought it was just picking up some food left or something else. It ate my acan colony (entire colony), chalices, hammer and lobos. Woke up early this mooring without light, I saw it was eating another acan :mad2::mad2::mad2:. It must be removed from the tank. Hopefully I will catch it tonight and would fry :unsure:.

There's a jeffrey dahmer in every tank
Too many shrimp bear the name "peppermint shrimp". The aiptasia eating variety that are reef safe are collected from certain localles. You need to find a source that can confirm thats where theyre from.

I'm sure we can find you a beautiful wrasse to take care of that shrimp problem.
It's like hiring a hit-man. It just only costs you $30 insteald of $30,000

Make sure it's one that swims to the Rocky soundtrack. If it took out 4 corals, he might have a bruiser on his hands.
Does Camel shrimp eat aiptasia?
My old tank had Aiptasia outbreak. They were growing everywhere like a farm. I treat corals with Aiptasia X before moving to new tank. Some tiny babies aiptasia were in new tank. I bought three of them at LFS and they were sold as Peppermints. I put two in the old tank and one in the new tank.
As the result today:
old tank: 99.9% of Aiptasia has been gone
new tank: don't see at all
mine looks similar like this

I'm every happy when I caught it.

Those look like Peppermints to me.
Camel Shrimp:

Pronounced hump on the back (hence the name)... white markings instead of the more translucent markings on the Peppermint. Those are the two easiest characteristics to notice.

I love the file fish I got from SEA. Not an aiptasia in sight!
