j & l had lots two weeks ago

Thanks, I'll check them out. On their website said they are out of stock though

+1 J&L they almost always have some.
Don't rely on the website for livestock stock info. Give them a phone call. And if they have some you can always ask for a few to be put on hold for a day, if you're worried about somebody else swiping them out from under you ;)

Everything is out of stock on the website, but as of Sunday they still had a tank full of peppermints.

If you want them for aptasia, these are the ones to buy
Bought two, two weeks ago and placed them in my 10 gal in the garage that is holding LR with these plague glass anemones. At least one was eating them and in two days, there are none left.

yes I want them for apitasia, tried Apitasa X and it made it a lot worse. would rather a "natural" remedy though don't want them going after my coral! What are you feeding them now there is no apitasia

You're rolling the dice with peppermints. While there supposed to eat aiptasia it's really a matter of luck wether or not they do in a tank.

They eat anything the fish would eat.

I agree.
Thats why I bought two, and said in my post at least one of the shrimp was eating the aptasia. (I could not see both eating at the same time, so do not know if both ate. Because the tank is filled to the brim with LR) This says to me, J&L has at least some pepermints that eat aptasia. I think good odds
