Picked up some peppermint shrimp from Rit (Atlanta Aquarium) last night.
I was worried about buying peppermints as a solution to my aipatsia problem because I have heard that it has to be a certain species.
Just wanted to confirm.. That these guys DESTROY aiptasia, and they don't take their time getting at it either! I set up a ten gallon tank for the little buggers (I'm about to go through an upgrade and be moving livestock into holding tanks) and dropped a small rock with 10 or so aiptasia on it in.
Within 5 seconds they were attacking the aiptasia, and have been scavenging the rock for food ever since.
