I was wondering if peppermint shrimp will eat feather dusters.

Thanks

Mine don't. They eat worms and pods and anything else good, but not my feather dusters!!

I second Brad's reply.
I have had a peppermint shrimp for over a year now, and I haven't seen any depletion of my small or large feather dusters.
Is this something you have read or heard

cheers, Rich

Something I heard. I'm having a problem with feather dusters and am trying to find a solution. I know that they are in fact feather dusters and not aptasia. Anyway they are about the size of a nail head and have completely taken over one of my rocks and are starting to spread. Any ideas?

Thanks

I at one time had Peppermint shrimps and large Featherdusters. I had to get rid of the shrimps because they ate my featherdusters. Somewher in my files I have pics of it actually in the process of eating the featherduster. If I locate it I will post it.

Try camel shrimp (R. uritae). The only thing is that they have a fondness for other coral/clams.
