Peppermint shrimp

[grouper25]

Was wondering if peppermint shrimp can go in my new 20 gallon nano which is just coral and two small perculas. Lots of Zoas, Polyps leathers etc.

Thanks,

Sure..I had 2 in my 10 gallon with around the same corals fish. Since you have coral, just make sure they are peperment shrimp, and not camelback shrimp..

you can , but be aware they could turn on your polyps. many people seem to have them with zoas. some people have reported problems with them and zoa's.

I've found that target feeding peppermint shrimp seems to keep them away from corals. I had one that used to tear into my open brain coral but when I began target feeding them, it stopped. I've never kept them with zoanthids however. They look too similar to Aiptasia for me to feel comfortable.

I have one in with my zoa tank, and so far it all seems good. Mind you, she has only been in there for about a week...

Peps don't really go after zoos but CAMEL SHIRMP do.. a lot of newer folks confuse the 2.
