Are you sure you've got a peppermint shrimp and not a camelback? They do look very similar and the camelback is not reef safe. If you're sure that it's a peppermint, then you have a very naughty shrimp. Remove it asap. | |

Anyway, yes I am quite sure it is a BTA and it is a peppermint shrimp... My buddy was also with me when it happened, so he saw it too. I haven't seen him back near the bta since it happened. BTA seems to be doing great so I will just keep an eye out and if I see it again I'll try to remove the shrimp.
Thanks for the inputs.

Do you have any pictures of your anemone, I'd love to see it.
I have peppermint shrimp in both my tanks, each one has a bta in it too, never had any problems. This is a real shocker! | |

I was told that the aptaisia flower was a rare one to buy. Because people grow them and sell them for big bucks.
Who online sell them for reasonable prices?
I love the look of them, they look like they are almost made of glass. | |
