I wouldn't buy to many, after the aitasia is gone they are very greedy and steal food from fish and corals. They are very interesting however and will clean your hand if you put it in the tank near them.

They are little zombies that come out at night and will clean up your woes

Unfortunatly when you buy them will be one of the last times you see them as they hide really well during the day

I have a high death rate with peppermints. 1 in 10 live longer than a few months.
I drip acclaimate them over an hour and everything.
camel shrimp no prob, coral banded.... just peppermints.
like right now I got one good sized guy thats made it out of my last 5.
IT's possible they're getting eaten by something. Doubt it's the coral banded cause it's just too slow to catch a fleeing peppermint. Plus theres lots of places the peppermint can hide that the coral banded won't go.
I know I got pistols somewhere I hear them but can't catch them.
