That stuff is bad, if you are just starting out I would pull the rock out and nuke it. Then I would go to where you bought it and black someone eye for selling it to you.  _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

If you have a sump then I would put it in there, they are supposed to be great filter feeders and generally they can spread very quickly. I've got a few in my sump and I also have a few peppermint shrimps in the main display just in case they spread to the main tank.

If you have them in your sump for filtration, you need a UV sterilizer on your return to keep them out of your tank. | |

Agreed, to be extra safe a UV could be put into place. Peppermints will not eat large aiptasia so I wouldn't recommend them if it is already well established. | |
