Peppermint and Cleaner shrimp ok together?

Exactly what the title says. I have a very small problem with Aptasia and want to get it gone before it gets out of control. The new tank is around 36gal and is a very slender and tall one (not a lot of room horizontally).

They should get along fine.

Thought that they would be ok but just wanted someone with more experience tell me the same thing, thanks a lot! Have a good one.

Just make sure they are equal in size. I tried to add some small peppermint shrimp, in with my large cleaner shrimps. The small peps didn't last a day, the cleaners ate them up like little snacks.

I now have 1 pep, and 1 cleaner about the same size they just stay away from each other, and occasionally the cleaner will chase the pep, but there isn't any fighting.
