its rareclowns from Manhattan reefs, get my number from del and give me a call.


Also ive had peps pick on nems that werent full healthy, its hit or miss.


Ive also seen my gigantea eat 2 cleaner shrimp and numerous peps.

My akinydnos clowns would grab them as soon as they hit the water and bring them to the gigantea.

I have seen peps pick on a newly introduced Haddoni, and attempt to pick on a healthy one at night --- after the lights are off. If the Haddoni is hosting clown(s) the risk is less, but would still be there.

So, it is up to you if you want to take the risk, and there is no guarantee that the peps will go after the aptasia. I find using kalk paste to be more effective.

Common for peps to steal food from nems for sure.
I hate peps, they kill snails too from my exp.
I had to resort to them recently to rid apt(for them to work, you have to starve them/tank, so spot feed fish only)
Now that my apt is basically gone, I'll catch the peps and ditch them.

Wow... This is news to me. I don't recall ever having a problem with them.
