shrimp question

I am planning on adding some peppermint shrimps.
I have biocube 29 gallons, how many could I get?

 

I kept 5 in my 28 gal, but that did not end well, they ate my maxi-mini anemones and then started in on my lps.

 

peppermint shrimps eat corals?

 

They can indeed Mkizla
Zoanthids are another 1 that sometimes takes their fancy
they eat Aiptasia after all, so if they run out or even if they dont run out
they may well decide to sample other corals in the tank

I would say 1 would be plenty with a skunk cleaner or blood cleaner shrimp. I have to ask though what is your current stocking in the tank now?

 

i have 1 coral beauty, 1 lubbocks wrasse, and 1 clown. I have 1 apatsia I need to get rid of, but didnt feel like paying 20 dollar for medication, so was wondering if i could get away with just spending 6 dollar for peppermint shrimp, i dont have a shrimp in there after all, so thought would be a nice addition

 

I would say that its a 50/50 shot o nthe shrimp actually eating the stuff IME but you can try and see what you get

 

I fed mine mine, I would feed and he would come out and climb onto my hand and i would squirt a few flakes at him and he would eat it..

I am going to get 2 when i get the money for them for my 29 biocube.

 

I have one in my 65g. I had an aptasia anemone and it was gone the very next day. I feed mine mysis shrimp. He hangs out under the rocks all day but at feeding time he will come out and eat.

 

im not sure if i want to risk my corals being eaten though :I
