IME experience Peppermint Shrimp will only eat smaller ones. You might consider injecting them with Joe's Jusice, or boiling water.

I'm betting Majano's, I've got them also and while I think mine are really nice looking I'm gonna nuke them in a week or two.

This does not look like the Genus: Anthopleura Species: xanthogrammica type of anemone, its one that commonly gets exposed when the tide goes out. In looking at the pics, I'd have to say majano as well.

I had the following Aptasia in my 30, check the size, and he was a bit bigger when I put 1 peppermint in the tank. Overnight, the Aptasia was gone! and I had one very happy Peppermint shrimp!
