Which LFS take trade-in livestock for store credit?

I have 2 peppermint shrimp that have become murderers and my extra feeding to compensate for them has made my water quality take a nose dive. Do any of the following LFSs take trade in livestock for store credit?

Seahorse
Elmers
Pet Supplies+ - McKnight
AquaWorld
Under the Sea - Cranberry

If yes, who and what was your experience?

Thanks!

Murderers of what?

I am pretty sure any of them would take them... just be aware that the wholesale cost on a pep shrimp is likely less than $2.00

Are you sure that the coral isn't dying from something else and they are just eating the dead tissue?
