Peppermint shrimp

[Royal youngreef]

What are these like in a mixed reef? (Mainly rare zoas and acans)

Is there anything to be watchful of?

I have a aiptasia and have seen these chomp them up.

Do they get along with other fish and shrimp.

Any advice would be great

They steal from any and all coral if your ever feed them, straight up reach into their guts like little sandwich bags every night, sometimes immediately. Otherwise great CUC if you are OK with that, but not very visible (mostly in shaded areas during the day) or really interesting unless you are specifically watching them at night etc..

Bit risky around my rare zoas then [emoji51]

They wont touch zoas, just steal from any large fleshy LPS or coral that will actively feed and has a mouth they can pillage. But LPS don't have to be fed to succeed so its not the end of the world, annoyed me though.

Thank you for your help

What other shrimp do you have? Bigger cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp and boxer shrimps will mostly kill PM shrimps.

PM shrimps can also sometimes develop an apatite for LPS corals.

I agree with HBtank, they are little thieves. That is why this time around I stayed away from them.
