peppermint shrimp vs sexey's

yes they will eat them

 

Well i guess id rather be aiptasia free in the long run so it is ok

 

I have both of them. I haven't seen either of them eating any coral, and I'm fairly certain they have not because I don't have very many corals and I can tell when something is happening. That being said, I'm a little concerned to see that they are known to eat coral. This is really the first I've heard of this. I thought both of these shrimp were hands down reef safe. You learn something new every day I guess.

 

i also have a copperband butterfly he will eat the filter feeding worms very quickly but the good news is i have lots of them in my sump, so i see them all the time.

 

so far my peps have not eaten my corals, some reefers have reported that they have eaten certain coral, the reasons why are unknown at this time.
