Peppermint shrimp?

[HUNTER1]

My peppermints only come out at night because my yellowtail damsels are onto them. Will they be able to see the aiptasia? thanks

Yes, they are mainly nocturnal anyway.

Sounds good, I see them go around at night but they come back in the same spot comes morning. I still give them few pellets under their rocks. Do you suggest I continue to feed them or are they getting enough food on their own?

They are scavengers, they will eat whatever they can find, Just feeding your damsels will take care of him. not 100% of all peppermints eat aiptasia as they mainly stay where their cleaning stations are. They are nocturnal and come out at night while your damsels are asleep so its just a matter of luck if he'll attack them. Everything sounds good

I got mine 8 months ago and it ate all of my aiptasias immediately (yay!) and it was exclusively nocturnal for a bit but now it comes and sits on my hand, picks the dirt from under my nails. Cute. I would recommend a pellet a week or so

Actually when I introduced them one went directly to aiptasia and ate it, and now I don't see the rest of the aiptasia. I see them come out at night and come back to the same spot comes morning.
