hmm like going after my live fish?? maybe its better to stay with the pep. shrimps then... or did you mean eating dead bodies of things??
no no they're fine with fish (they're cleaner shrimp!!!) unless you starve them to death lol. they do eat mysis shrimp and other foods floating around, but I'll be astonished to see one actively eat algae. They'll eat dead fish in a heartbeat. peppermint shrimp really only eat aptasia when you starve them of all other food sources and suck for fish cleaning purposes

hmm well maybe i will stick with my pep shrimp then, he would eat algae and all that but when mysis went in the tank.. he turned into a cannibal
fire shrimp look way cooler than peppermints, just stay away from coral banded shrimp and you're fine. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just saying that fire shrimp don't eat algae, but they won't attack your fish either... they're GOOD for the system... they clean parasites off your fish, look good while doing it, and eat any excess food that the fish don't grab.

ya I took a few pictures tonight. I will post them up when I have some time to take them off the camera. I have something weird too.. kinda looks like the base of a zoa.. but white and kinda fuzzy looking? not really sure what it is, my buddy said (without seeing it) it was probably a sponge... so pictures of them to come. i thought maybe it was how the zoas grew??

Thanks for posting pics Sorry i had to leave for a moment but i am back now. They loook great and that white stuff is probably just some type of sponge. I have some on mine and they have these tiny holes all over the body of the white stuff. I dunno what it is but it looks like cocoons or something in my tank.LOL.
