I dont see my peppermints anymore either (during the day) I believe I saw one when I put the flashlight against the tank and tghen it was gone

I believe they hide when its light out.. I know when i 1st put them in and the lights were off I used a flashlight and they took off trying to hide.

I have no aptasia any more that I can see

1st time in 2.5 years I think... and 1st time I tried pepps works better than anything I tried.

Out of curiosity, were these the peppermints purchased from howdy?? I haven't noticed any of my aptasia being eaten from the one I ordered... just curious as to if yours are eating aptasia

There are two species that look very similiar, and are often mixed up in the trade. One is a great Aiptasia eater, the other eats them, but not much, both are sold as Peps. The markings on the body are slightly different, I just know that mine's the right kind, dunno what the wrong kind looks like.

I'm going to attempt to use the little demons as nutrient export in my sump for the new set up.
