Headless_donkey Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have never seen peppermint shrimp eat coral, but they will steal food from EVERYTHING! I would bet it is eating small bits of mysis shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You positive it is a peppermint shrimp and not a camel shrimp? They sometimes are hard to tell apart, and I think the camel's are more prone to nip at corals. But I also second headless_donkey, when I had peppermints, they were thiefs of food, and so was my cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
