    just wait till a few hours after lights off and put your hand in the tank near the peppermint. mine jumps right on my hand and starts picking at my skin.

    same with my skunk...

    u guys are a lot more patient then me first time i saw my emarald crab pick at a coral i snatched the whole rock out he was on and fuged it . a bad azz dotty was trying to kill my skunk shrimp i tore the whole tank down just to get him out.. i guess its a money factor with me if 5 dollars eats 60 than i have a serious problem with that
