    Just watched a peppermint shrimp EAT our xenia polyp we just got today. Now it was only 5 bucks with a freebie Zoa. We put it on the rock and the pep comes out in a heartbeat. Hey hunny look he is cleaning it, then all the sudden he RIPS a lil piece off and starts chomping on it. Heres a few pics.

    I remember my peppermint shrimp. They were so well behaved though.
