Peppermint shrimps are known to take on aptasia, are they really that discriminatory or do they also eat other types of sessile inverts? I also notice that they aren't the fix all for aptasia, cuz I have 3 and some aptasia still exists.

I did catch them picking at my Haddoni anemone a couple times, but it never seemed to do any real harm. Other than that I have never known them to bother anything (sometimes they don't bother the aiptasia either unfortunately).

mine got the aipasta then when it was all gone the pepp would try to take food out of the mouths of the other corals (it was hungry too) and I have seen mine pick at other corals, just a little, no harm done

how long have you had them?(the pepps)
as for the remaining aipastasia they will soon go too
