peppermint fish cleaner??

[who dey]

does a peppermint clean fish like a banded coral?

no. The only true cleaner is the cleaner shrimp. Peppermints are more known to eat apstaisa (nuisance anemones that come attached to live rock).

Isn't a fire shrimp a cleaner shrimp as well? I have a cleaner and a fire shrimp and they both jump on my hand and pick at it.

You're right, but I just don't find that fire shrimp clean nearly as much as regular cleaners do. I would not recommend a fire to someone as a "cleaner" type of shrimp, however, just like a coral banded, if you have one that cleans, that's great!
