    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Just wanted to add that my peppermint were also feed and it was not a lack of food that contributed to them starting on my corals. My tanks was aiptasia free, and catching the little buggers was difficult as well. If their sole purpose is aiptasia removal then I would use them and remove them but if not, there are many other choices for shrimp.

    If it's just to remove one aiptasia, I'd just inject the aiptasia with boiling water (free!) or lemon juice (cheap).
