Peppermint Shrimp are very social and peaceful towards most reef inhabitants and can purchased in multiples. The Peppermint Shrimp makes its way around your aquarium and live rock consuming detritus and decomposing organic material even sifting through sand in search of food. Individuals that are more industrious may even engage in cleaning parasites off its tank mates. Peppermint Shrimp will also eat nuisance aiptasia and can control the spread of aiptasia by eating the small, developing anemones.
