    I forget what they eat, but camel shrimp are not reef safe. Steer clear of those. They look pretty similar to peppermints, so watch out. Even some LFS label camels as peppermints.

    It sounds like you want to see the shrimp first and have it clean up second.

    I recommend another cleaner shrimp.

    Peppermints are really good cleaners (some even eat aiptasia), but they hide most of the time so you won't see them.
