    So I have an insane aptasia problem and have recently employed three peppermints to do work!!! I also bought some AptasiaX today to battle with chemical warfare. My question: If I nuke some of the buggers and then my shrimps decide to jump in the fight, can they be harmed by eating the treated aptasia? Any knowledge would be helpful, thank you.

    I actually just did this very thing last week. Several rounds with x and my 3 peppermint shrimp definitely jumped all over the anemones and picked at them a little. I have seen no ill effects whatsoever for the shrimp so I feel strongly it is safe.
