Peppermint shrimp that eats aptasia

Has anyone ever heard or had cleaner shrimp kill peppermint? My cleaner shrimp keeps killing my peppermint shrimp on 2 different occasions.

 

nopeee its deffinetly aptasia. Darn things keep popping up everywhere! Ill make sure I look at the shrimp real well before i do get them

 

If they have a lil hump in the back dont get em. good luck.

 

+1 to careful with them, especially if you have LPS you feed. They can dig food out of the coral long after the coral has swallowed it. I had issues with them as well. I got them for aiptasia as well, I bought 3 for my 30g and they took care of the issue within a week or two. Was worthwhile, although eventually I had to take them out and put them in the sump because they were bother my LPS too much.

 

I had awesome success with 2 peppermint shrimp in a 100 gal. Only had maybe 10-15 aiptasia though.

 

I bought 3 peppermint shrimp and none made it to the bottom of the tank. my fire clown thought I was feeding him dinner.. little bastard!

I was like there goes $20+ bucks in 10 seconds.
