Sound like you got some biggins.
Had some myself that I didn't keep on and they got out of control. I tried vinager and it worked but was hard as you needed to inject diectly into the animal. More often it would retract so wouldn't work. Tried the kalk paste and I'm totally converted. Turn of the pumps, using a large bore syringe just drip it over them. And what works better was the juice that I had from thawing mysis, I stirred that into the paste. The little buggers would reach out to get it. Since unable to feed them all with kalk, got a couple of Peppermint and they finished the rest.

The peppermint you "think" you have may not be a true peppermint shrimp// I have heard of this happening as well.. there is a shrimp that looks similar to a peppermint but is not a true peppermint.

The other shrimp I think you're referring to is the L. rathbunae. I'm positive that what I ended up getting locally (first placed in my sump so was able to clearly view).
Main differance is the tail is darker and the rostrum is longer. Though not what is considered the "true" peppermint, lots of articles indicated there was a chance that they would still go after aiptasia so placed in display. My experience was positive.
