Zi Long Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi all, did anyone spot any place selling peppermint shrimp (Lysmata wurdemanni)? Need it for aiptasia control. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloden Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Did you find some? I'm also looking for peppermint shrimp for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member oceanviper Posted November 10, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted November 10, 2015 My copperband did all the work. Now my tank is almost free from aiptasia.

SRC Member oceanviper Posted November 11, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted November 11, 2015 Today check most of the rocks surface where previously saw aiptasia now is no longer there... Got a smaller one in my sump tank just to help out clearing any in the sump tank as bought 2 at one go...and can't seems to be living harmony in the display tank. No regret buying them to control aiptasia and don't see any damage done on my corals.

No regret buying them to control aiptasia and don't see any damage done on my corals. Just like to check, do they like to walk all over zoas and stay on them like cleaner shrimps? Mine cleaner shrimps had been causing all my zoas to be constantly closed before they passed on due to a chiller death previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejwa Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Peppermint shrimp will usually hide inside the rock if there areally big fish around.. unless your tank is pretty empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member hansolo Posted February 18, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yes, me. Use a needle to poke the aptasia. Once injured the shrimps will go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
