Peppermint shrimp at my BTA

[bwest]

I have 2 peppermint shrimp that I purchased to take care of some aiptasia, and now that it's under control the larger of the two is really being a nuisance. I caught him standing on my BTA, and picking at its mouth as if trying to get some food out of it. I could tell the BTA didn't like this as it started to close up. So I lured the shrimp to the surface with some flake food, caught him in a net and stuck him in quarantine until I figure out what I want to do with him. I have heard they're quite the theives and are always after food.

Has anyone had any isssues with their anemones and peppermint shrimp being in the same tank?

He'll probably get eaten eventually.

I wish my nem would eat my pep.!
I got 2 peps for apt and they ate everything but.
I caught one, but can't catch the other, and yeah, he steals from my nem.
He also rolls my snails over on the sand and picks em.
Ditch it.
I like cleaners better.

Well that's the funny thing, I originally had a cleaner with 2 peppermints, and the cleaner killed and ate one of them, so I took it back. Now that I look back on it, I should've just kept the cleaner.
