I bought and still have my worthless Peppermint shrimp...wish I had that success...I love my Kleins butterflyfish though, couldn't be better, he MIPS at anything on snails shells like algae and he MIPS all the rocks, but he doesn't bother the coral at all.

Always good the have the fish leave the coral alone. I had some clowns wallow a flowerpot coral to death. They are hard to keep anyway and it was growing and doing great....then the clown found it. What can I say, it's their world and we can only watch.

I think I need to go into the pepermint shrimp business. Ive been calling all the stores in town trying to find one cause my old one didnt survive after my last move and my aiptasia is coming back. None of them had any right now but they all told me to go down to the jetties a couple miles from my house and drop a net in the water. Id get a fist full of em within about a few minutes. Thats where they get all thiers from. Sigh...things I never knew lol.

Yes ive used it before but I dont like using chemicals in the tank if I dont have to. I'll get another pep for the time being because the last one did a great job and they're the same type of aipstasia. Then whatever he doesnt eat I'll treat at that point in time if I have to.
