Anemone and Peppermint Shrimp

[RogueAgent94]

Will Peppermint Shrimp eat all kinds of anemones or just pest ones? I have one rock anemone which was a hitchhiker but I'd prefer not to have it pestered. Thoughts?

Peppermint shrimp are attracted to my Green Haddoni at night. Like a magnet. I know because I'll see they're antenna sticking out the next morning.

Thanks, It was captive hatched, Possibly captive breed. From a wholesalers Haddoni holding tank. I have two ones that one is about 3 inch diameter, the other is 2 in. The smaller one will be ready to go soon if interested...They like Peppermint shrimp LOL

Any more ideas on my question?

Chaos, I wish lol.

I have RBTA and true Mini Carpets, Had an LTA and never once had a problem with the shrimp. I hear that some eat pests some dont touch it.... I never had a pest problem so I couldnt tell you if my did like pest anemone or not but they did not mess with my 5 different species of Anemones, all ten individuals.
My shrimp were well fed cause I crumble my flake food fine so some hits the sand or the rocks for the scavengers like the minties. Hope this helps some

Are you saying its possibly a carpet nem raised from a spawn captivity?!? Or clones?

It was most likely fertilized in captivity in a holding tank. But I raised it for most of its life since it was small small. The holding tank did not have a skimmer and I very basic filtration system I.e. pond pump and foam...A male was noted as releasing sperm and two weeks or so later this little green guy was floating around... small like an eraser. I manually cloned (cut) this one a few months ago, so now I have two. Unfortunately I have no video or pics of the spawn, since it was not my system, but only from the cutting.
A friend and I used to import Haddoni's from Vietnam but things are a lot different importing livestock. permits, certain designated ports , a lot of fishy businesses out there now scamming.

I have totally High jacked this thread, Any more questions about my Haddoni PM me. Thanks, Ty
