My Peppermint never touched any of my SPS. They might be just picking stuffs off to eat since they do clean as well as eating anemones.

 

[commonstranger]

Ive never saw a shrimp hurting SPS. If the shrimp just touched the coral its going to shut up I doubt it hurt it.

 

[pelagic7]

if you look at it closely, the shrimp picked the polyps. There are few white sockets w/o polyps were the ones got picked by it.

I stood there watching him picked polyp by polyp to make sure if he was actually doing it...

 

[AdrianBryce]

have any better pictures of that shrimp?

 

[pelagic7]

I will find it when I get home. are you thinking it's not peppermint?

 

[AdrianBryce]

it might be a "peppermint". I looks like Lystmata, not like Lystmata wurdmanii. Could be the lighting, though. Better safe than sorry. where did you get it?

 

[pelagic7]

From the filed trip last week.

 

[AdrianBryce]

Hmmm....I don't know. The seem like they know there stuff. If it keeps happening flush it and get a new one. or put it in your sump. but you will likely have to feed it. I still want to see a picture.

 

[luckyfish]

pelagic7 I remember you getting him. At the time it cirtanly looked like a peppermint shrimp but looking at the body in the pic I'm less sure. Also, don't flush him, if you need to get rid of him I may have a place for him.

 

[pelagic7]

oh I won't flush it, it's on my dinner menu next time when I am cooking sea food dish.

 

[AdrianBryce]

[pelagic7]

my peppermint shrimp looks just like that maybe mine isnt what i thought either. i know he doesnt eat the apstasia i have growing. if he starts eating my sps you will have another for your seafood dish.

 

[tkimmons85]

I got all of my peppermints from the same source and they have been model citizens. All they do is keep my aptasia in check, I have never seen them touch any of my sps,lps,shrooms, or zoas.

 

[gannmann9876]

my apstasia is starting to spread i think i am going to get a couple more peppermints does anyone have any lock line plyers i could borrow
