I was just thinking since peppermint shrimp eat aptasia, is it safe to keep p. shrimp with desirable anemones or could they pick on them?
 
I had 5 in a 30 gal, and they pestered my crispa in the begining. The nem wasn't in great shape at that point though. They were trying to steal the food we'd given the nem. The P. shrimp didn't stay in that tank for too long after that, appearantly, we got the snotty aggressive kind.
 
I bought two to get rid of Aiptasias. Once they had finished them off, they started picking at a pink tipped sand anemone. They wouldn't leave it alone so I finally had to remove the shrimp.
