Kuekenthali cleaner shrimp

[JG1]

Anyone have one of these? I've been looking for a skunk cleaner but my LFS has a few of these in and I can't find too much info on them.

They are peppermint shrimp, they eat aptasia not clean.

Peppermints will pick at detritus and other things around the tank though too. They don't limit themselves to just aiptasia. Some have had issues with them picking at polyps though.

Really, peppermint shrimp?

EDIT, I see they are a version of peppermints. So I guess they're not cleaners then?
