yup I got mine from J&L also.. just ask if they have black tail fins or not.. the only place I got the black fined ones was from petcedera. they didn;t touch my aptasia.. it seams throught a couple threads on them on other boards others have had the same results with the black tails.
for what it is worth there are 3 species of shrimp being called "pepermint shrimp" and only one of them eats aptasia.
just to elaborate the shrimp you have is called
Lysmata rathbunae (black tail) the one you want is Lysmata wurdemani.
the "camel shrimp" Rhynchocinetes durbanensis is also commenly labled as a "pepermint shrimp"
