ive had numerous aiptasia outbreaks in my tank. Ive tried lemon juice, viniger, and i even had a fleet of berghia come and clean em out, but they keep growing back.
i want to put a peppermint shrimp in, but i already have a skunk cleaner.
Will there be a probem with the two shrimp in a 40 gal w/ about 30lbs of LR?

--Thanks.
 
I had 2 cleaners, 2 peppermints, and a blood in a 33G for quite sometime and no problem. IME only coral banded and blood (yes, mine did) fights as long as they are not unreasonably cramped.
 
I've got 2 Peppermints and 2 Skunks in my tank without any problems. My Peppermints are pretty reclusive, and I only see them come out at night.

FYI, Peppermints are kind of hit-and-miss on Aiptasia. Some people have good luck with them, but mine must have been finding other things to eat that they liked better. I ended up getting a CB Butterfly to take care of my Aiptasia (which has done a REALLY good job).
