    no, there are many ways to get rid if them, i prefer peppermint shrimp, they add beauty to the reef and i have never seen mine eat coral, there cheap and last about 2 years. i would get 5 this increase's the odds on the demise of the terrible glass anemone. james

    Peppermints are hit and miss. They'll more likely eat aiptasia when you have them in packs. Products like AipX and even Kalk paste tend to spread them. They release planula when they are threatened. If you can get the rock out do it and cover the whole are the aip is in with a paste made from Ms. Wages pickling lime and ro water.
