Peppermint Shrimp for Aptasia Control?

Rate this Entry
After picking up some free live rock from a fellow reef keeper I noticed some Apstasia Anemones sprouted in various spots. Rather then rely on chemical to deal wit them I would like to add a Peppermint Shrimp to deal with this issue naturally. I already have 2 Cleaner Shrimp and I have read various stories of the Cleaner Shrimp killing the Peppermint Shrimp. Is this a normal incompatibility that I need to be concerned with and that maybe I should go the route of Berghia Nudibranchs? Any thoughts are experiences would be greatly welcomed. Thank you in advanced for the assistance.

    Peppermints should be fine with Cleaners/Skunks. If they are eating them, it's because they are really hungry and can't find food elsewhere.
