Aptasia muncher that is reef safe

[mpishi]

i had a bad aptasia problem and wanted to deal with it using biological rather than chemical control

so i bought peppermint shrimp from an lfs with a very good reputation but these shrimp did the diddly squat

the guy who said there are two kinds is right, californian and caribbean
carribean are the good ones, species name starts with a "w"

got a different less reputable lfs to pull the packing list on their peppermints and all my aptasia except the one big mother colony were gone in less than two weeks

if i remember right there was an issue with harvesting caribbean shrimp in different seasons so some places may just sell californian as caribbean

also once you've seen peppermints next to camels there is no comparison
