Peppermint shrimp?

Not sure about Orlando but I know they have them over here. I got 2 for my 125, and they cleared my tank out, then went after my polyp's so you might think of just getting a few, that way the keep them down to just a few, but they still have something to eat. And if what I hear is true, there is no guarantee that they will go after apt's they might just turn of your polyp's. In that case its better to have a small amount, so there is less money waisted.

also make sure they are pepermints and not camel back. lfs seem to get them mixed up

i think I usually see them at Aquaria Studio and that means Ocean's Blue probably has them too. If you're north I think Reef Works has some too - they also have camel shrimp but they are labelled differently. I can't recall if SITC has any their inverts are always changing!
I don't nkow if its just me and the enthusiastic hobbyist but if you put both in front of me I think I could tell the difference between them - at least it looks a little obvious to me but maybe they look more similar shaped when they are younger.
If you totally can't find any at all I have one in my tank that isn't doing anything but sitting there all day you could have - he's been known to eat a piece or two of aptasia that i had before but he wont touch majano

They had some over at sea in the city on Wed. Not sure if they still do or not. You can call them though 407-207-4056

Great! I do know the difference between camel and pepps - my first "peppermint" was a camel and although it was many years ago, I won't make that mistake again.
I've never had them go after polyps - they usually just hang upside down and do their shrimpy dance. I have lost 2 cleaner shrimp in the last year, and just hope it's a fluke and not a tank problem.
