aiptasia needed
 
So the peppermint shrimp did a great job eating all the aiptasia off my suncoral, but since I have no other aiptasia he hasn't been eating. Tried feeding some mysis and plankton all without it even making a move for it.
So, if anyone has any LR to sell or donate for my shrimp to eat let me know, peps home is my 10g QT.

Don't worry. Peppermint shrimp aren't that selective. They'll eat anything including pellets and cyclopeze.

I've tried....it just sits on the bottom in the corners untouched. Figured some frozen thawed might get it eating.. But nope..

He's full.
I have never seen one that refused food.
Unless he is going to molt?

They'll eat a night and eat scraps. I've had the ones in my tank for a few years and thought that when the aptasia were gone they were going to perish. But I see them come out at night.

Mine eat aptasia and anything I put in the tank for food. They jump at and attack frozen krill tearing it off the feeding stick

The one in my DT is like that....it will come right up and eat frozen bits out of my hand. Even when I put a few pieces of sinking food or shrimp, squid etc in the tank the little turd just leaves it because when I check on the tank in the am it's still sitting on the bottom. I wonder if it's getting ready to molt?! Never had this happen to either of my shrimp (x1 peppermint, and x1 skunk cleaner) in my DT.
