    Mine has eaten every Peppermint Shrimp I've had. Once I figured out what was happening to them, I quit replacing them :-/

    They are very hard to catch in the wild, normally between 35' to 80' deep in the ocean,
    and they are amazing to watch.

    Very cool fish. Mines does get into a staring contest with me while doing that thing with his mouth. He's only been in my tank for a few days and hasn't messed with my Peppermints. I hope it stays that way.

    I just added a Royal Gramma to my tank as well. Thankfully he hasn't snatched up either of my peppermints either. It might be because my peppermints have been with me since dec and have grown very large and the RG is rather small.

    Has anyone experienced them eating skunk cleaner shrimp?
