ML also has peppermint? BTW, anyone bought peppermints from PR and actually saw them eating your aiptasias? Mine went missing too.

Do they look pale? Like this?

Probably Lysmata rathbunae, not real Peppermint Shrimps but they do apparently do eat Aiptasia too.

I bought 1 from LCK and 2 from PR. All look same. Put all three into sump which is infested with aiptisia and viola.....after 1 week, not a single siptisia in sight. Next step will be to transfer them to the main tank to clear a few more. But a bit scared my dotty will makan them.

Is it possible to breed them in the sump?

I think (marine) therefore I am
