I would be suspicious of the peppermint shrimp, especially if you are feeding the BTA. IME they are prone to eating BTAs as well as aiptasia. You also don't mention what snails you have. Cowries will...

mixing BTA's, no problem. Others here have had problems mixing carpets with BTA's. I have had ritteri's, haddoni's and M. doreensis together for over 3 years with no issues.
