Peppermint shrimp and Mejano anemones

I have a large number of these anemones but no aiptasia. Will the peppermint shrimp eat these types of nuisance anemones? There are too many to kill manually. I didn't see them creeping up on my because I don't see well anymore. My kid saw them today and pointed them all out for me. Talking around 20 or so all over the rocks and between corals. I also have aiptasia looking anemones that are various colors, red, green, clear with pointy tentacles. Are these pests as well?
Help,
Tom

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the reply,

Mojano should be fairly easy to just lift off the rock with a wooden skewer or a piece of plastic, even just a fingernail.

A few mojano anemones are cool looking in a tank as long as they aren't zapping any expensive corals.

Yeah, I was injecting boiling water into one that I found, but it came right off when I took the needle off of the rock, so turns out I didn't need to inject the water at all!

for all my aiptasias i use joesjuice... it swhite, comes in a little bottle with a syringe when you squirt them(only takes a little) they melt right before your eyes. i have alot of lr in my tank so when i get them its nothing for me to take out up to 10 at one time... stuff works wonders
