camel shrimp

[brody98]

will camel shrimp eat aiptasia? Our local petco has a bunch of camel shrimp labeled as peppermints and I think they are large enough to survive in my tank, but I've also heard that they may eat coral also, anyone have some in their tank?

Camel Shrimp will not eat aptasia. Only the Peppermint shrimp eat it sometimes. Alot of stores try to pass camels as peppermints and alot of people are fooled. Also if you have any type of wrasse in your tank do not buy shrimp. They will only become a meal. I forgot this one time and my Spanish Hogfish was a happy camper. I was like DUH. As soon as I threw them in I was like what am I doing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
