Peppermint shrimp

Peppermint shrimp "may" eat the small ones but doubtful they would take care of the larger ones --- and each one is different and may avoid it all together.
A strong kalk mix in a syringe, vinegar, joe's juice. May take several applications but they can work.
I've had peppermint shrimp take care of small aiptasia.. but they won't touch anything bigger.

This has always worked for me... Take some of ur tank water put it in a small cup or bowl. Microwave it for two minutes. Careful with the hot water! Than I use a turkey blaster to deliver the hot water to the pest. The key is to get the tb right up close to it with out tuching it. Than let em have it just watch them melt away. I have never had them return. Good luck

I don't want to hijack your thread, however I'd like to ask, what is considered "too big" for the peppermint shrimp that was mentioned?

 

[myckei]

I ws told by my LFS that it's anything nickel size or larger they wont eat. Not for sure so please correct me if I am wrong. Just my 2 cents.
