Does anybody know about peppermint shrimp attacking a BTA? Mine seems to be biting at the body just underneath the tentacles. Thank for your help.

My peppermints will attack or rather, try to steal from any coral
in the tank.
My BTA is 15" up on the front of the glass and occasionally I'll
see the pepps fly up to it and try to pull some stuff out the mouth
Notorious little *******s.
They do eat all the aiptaisias & other rogue anems in the tank though.
That and their generous weekly sprayings of baby pepps to my
corals is why they stay

thanks for the help... I finally had to take them back to the LFS. They were relentless, even when fed.

LOL...
Its funny when they go up to my carib mat anem. and the thing
grabs them, I mean reaaally grabs them and the pepps go
shooting off.
Kinda like payback for everyone else in the tank.
