Peppermint Shrimp eating other Anemones?
 
Is it possible that a peppermint shrimp would eat other kinds of anemones? I had a huge aiptasia problem in my tank, so I bought one and he cleared it all out in a night or two. Now I have noticed that my condylactis anemone is missing. I am looking at getting a bubble tip anemone right away and am afraid he might eat this as well.

I had troubles with mine eating my frogspawn when they finished up the aptasia. And then to add insult to injury they attacked and ate a featherduster last nite. If i ever catch the little buggers now its gonna be shrimp kabobs for dinner that nite :twised:

I have 3 peppermints in my tank and they've never touched anything but the aiptasia in my tank. Not the GBTA's, zoos, candy cane or frogspawn. Pepptermints are usually a crap shoot, sometimes you get one that will eat all the aiptasia in your tank, other tiems they won't even look at it.
