Re: Fish stocking question

If you add peppermint shrimp before you have aiptasia ... what do you think they eat? They don't live on love.
They will eat similar things to aiptasia. I've seen it. When I was raising peppermint shrimp, I found out the hard way that I was unable to keep up my aiptasia population (sounds silly doesnt it). So I would buy cheap rocks of ugly brown zoanthids and yellow polyps to feed them with. They ate them, they'll eat yours too.
