Do you still have the shrimp eating wrasse? If you do, the fish will most likely eat any other shrimp that you put in the tank. |

amcarrig, yeah, still have the wrasse, but was planning on taking him back (see posting in general about trying to catch him), so any shrimp addition would be after he's gone (unless I can't get him out).

i have had aiptasia twice now. the first time i killed them with stop aiptasia it worked well. now that i have them again, the stop aiptasia isnt working well. i tried the peppermint shrimp thing and the one i got didnt touch them at all. but thats not to say yours will not. a lot of people say it worked for them.

I just used Joe's juice on mine. Eight of them curled up and died within 10 minutes. Nothing left of them at all! Thick Kalk may do the same, but at 6.99 for a bottle at my LFS, Joe's Juice was what I needed, when I needed it.

If you can get the needle in the hole were they live and inject the vinegar they will defiantly bite the dust... John | |

To answer your question about the peppermint shrimp eating polyps. I have one that only bothers my new incoming corals. It seems he wants to taste test them. He did cause some massive damage to my frogspawn when I first bought it. but the coral ended up recovering. I still have the shrimp but I keep an eye on him when I introduce new corals and shew him away. I think peppermints are like angels you never know what they will do.
