Peppermint Shrimp/Appetite for SPS?
 

Has anyone ever had a, or heard of a pepermint shrimp with an appetite for sps, specifically seriatopora/yellow tip birdsnest?

nope

Mk, well then, you have now, and after some reading of my own, it's not uncommon at all. On that note mine (2) are effin outta there.

There goes my thought in putting a couple in my tank to get rid of my apps'

Coral saving thread thanks guys ;)

Back to joes juice!

I forgot to mention, that the reason I'm on this subject today is that when i woke up this morning I saw one of them pounding down polyps. I thought it was weird the first time it happened because it was the only coral in my tank with any issue. Not so weird anymore. Now it's GO TIME PEPPER!

For those thinking of peppermint shrimp for aptasia, yes they do eat them, but seems they aren't extra food or apt's. exclusive. Beware.

You can add me to the list. I watched mine strip a piece or pocillapora down to sticks in one night. I thought they were just cleaning up the coral. It's hard to say wether they were picking on my acan or brain but I watched them clean off the pocillapora for sure. Mine are no longer in my tanks, I have a hard time thinking that anything that eats aptaisia will not eventually develop a taste for some type of coral.
