    I've ready varying reports about the compatibility. I have five Sexys and two Peppermints and they seem to all hang out in a cluster without issue. Is this the norm or the exception?

    As a side note now that my tank has so many inverts it makes for some interesting skirmishes shrimps vs zombie snails (The way the Nassarius snails emerge from the sand bed when food is in the tank)

    big hermit and emerald scuffled over a sinking pellet.

    The only death I ever see if the occasional snail-icide by the hermits to get the shell but I've just come to accept that will happen.

    My sexies and peppermint get along quite well too! No problems to report.

    My sexies and peppermints get along just fine. It's the clowns that sometimes nip at the sexies, and after a single nip, it's pretty much lights out. The hermits go after the snails, so all of the hermits are now in the sump. My goal is a crab free tank with peppermints and sexies. ;)
