True Peppermint Shrimp

[t kish]

Can someone please post a pic of a true Pepper.
I had a little Aptasia pop up and even though the boiling water killed them instantly I can only hope that I got them all.

So I was thinking of adding a few shrimp just in case.

I think one of the reasons people have bad luck with killing them individually is because you just can't see every were in the tank.
You may think you got them all but it is almost impossible in most tanks to see the back of the rock work and any that hide there will quickly aid in spreading more throughout the tank.

I know there is no way for me to tell if I have any at the back of my rock .

Also can Peppers survive in a fuge ? I boiled a couple tiny Aptasia hiding in my Cheato as well .

Thanks Tim

Any of the online livestock dealers will have good pics of a peppermint shrimp.

It could survive in a good sized refugium but imo that's not a good idea. The idea of a fuge is to be a predatur free area and peppermint shrimp are predators on more than aiptasia.
