I had a cleaner shrimp that killed my peppermint in a 10G.
Maybe the shrimp was hungry, the tank was sort of new and the shrimp went crazy whenever I fed my fish.
I've heard that this aggression is pretty rare, but it happend. I'm glad it did, it was fun to watch, and my peppermint had already done his job - eaten my aiptasia.

pip is my home-boy!
he was intially introduced to my box to rid aptasia and provide Bane (my mantis) with a quick meal.
first day they walked right up to eachother, touched, and zipped backwards.
they been chill ever since.
i dont want pip to die, but are there advantages to a cleaner vs. a peppermint?

Cleaner Shrimp
Coral Banded
I have a peppermint shrimp (for apatasia cleaning) and a cleaner shrimp in my 20G and they are fine, they are on opposite sides of the tank and mind their own businesses.

I have a 20xh and had 2 skunk cleaners and 3 peppermints. I put 2 Tunze Nano Streams in there and within two days I had 1 peppermint left. He's still in there and happy.

2 fish... few inverts, no I don't think it's over stocked but I guess that depends largely on how you keep it up (ie water changes etc)
In my 24g aquapod, which is pretty jammed with rocks/corals to the very top I have a clown, purple firefish, 6 line wrasse, green banded goby, and CUC which includes a small emerald crab. I plan to add a skunk cleaner shrimp soon. I also do weekly 5g water changes and run purigen & chemipure.

I have one pair of mating Coral Bandeds, 8 pepermints, 3 cleaner shrimps, and a pacific blue lobster in a 65g tank.... I do feed heavy, but as of yet no one has eaten anyone else.
Oh and my favorites, how could I forget...
I have 2 bait shrimps. The same ones you buy at the supermarket to make a plater of shrimp and cocktail sauce.
They are the neatest scavengers....been with me for 5 months.
