WTB peppermint shrimp

[acewong]

Anyone sell or anyone know where to buy peppermint shrimp??

My tank got aptasia, need it to clean

[ezman]

New trio at LCK201 has around 20+ pcs in one of the partition. They have been therefore for quite sometime and is very stable.

Aquamarin have it. I recently bought 1 there.

[acewong]

Izzit really can clean aptasia? ?

[boyington]

Got two from Pacific Reef last Sunday, one gone missing, the other one just molted & hiding, aiptasia still happily waving tentacles, got to wait & see...

[RayL]

I was told that it can clear algae but it seems to ignore them but will chase henry's reef gourmet like mad

So i guess short answer is they just look nice

Hi, I bought 2 peppermint shrimps yesterday from LCK 201 at New Tiew Crescent and both have gone into hiding.

Similar experience as Boyington's post. Guess have to wait and see for another few days when they are hungry.

Cheers

Pls let me know how's behave following days

[boyington]

So far confirm left one peppermint but it is still ignoring the aiptasia, will monitor & let you know of the progress..

It's almost a week now and both peppies not coming out at all although I could see them hiding behind the rocks...

One just molted.

[acewong]

So sad, mean peppermint shrimp can't help much too

[Qbass]

Just an update...

Yesterday I noticed that there used to be a medium sized aiptasia which had its stem coming out from behind the live rock and now it is gone.

The peppies are still hiding behind the live rock. My observation is that peppies are shy and timid. One of the peppies tried to venture out this morning but when a fish swam pass it, it retreated back. Even a small yellow goby was able to cause it to retreat.

Will give them more time and hopefully hunger pangs were give them more courage to come out and eat the rest of the aiptasias.

Will keep you guys posted.

Hi! my peppies are too timid. So far not much improvement. It did not work for me.

[boyington]

Guess it is a hit & miss thing, I got 2 peppermint, one I think kaput long time ago, the other did clear the 3 aiptasia that I spotted. Merry Christmas !

[Qbass]

Hi! Good news! This morning I noticed 2 more medium aiptasias were gone. IMHO, peppies do eat but in my case not at the rate that I expected them.

There is about almost 20 something(big & small ones) on just one liverock. Don't know how long it will take them to clear them.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Hi Again! I just witnessed myself one peppy attacking the aiptasia. I am thinking of getting 2 or 3 more peppies just to get rid of the nuisance aiptasias.

Pacific reef got

Thanks moothecow12..

Hi! Good news is that my tank is currently down to about 5 aiptasias from about 50 at one stage. It's about a month now since I bought the 2 peppies. I must say that they did a great job.

[acewong]

Overall, peppermint shrimp doesn't seem really can kill aptasia

[acewong]

I clarify wif some reefers, my tank don't have aptasia

It's just tiny tube worms
