Peppermint shrimp and aptasia

[scotts2002]

Do Peppermint shrimp eat aptasia? I saw a post that stated they do.
I have a Copperband Butterfly but he hasn't started eating them, or anything for that matter, yet.
Thanks

Ifd its a true peppermint it is entirely possible it will eat aip. however there is no guarantee. MIne did initially then found other food sources they preferred for some reason or other...
