Will a peppermint shrimp eat zoos? I know they are used in aptasia control so I wasn't sure if they were zoo safe or not.

I don't have any yet.. still cycling my tank.. just want to ask a few questions before buying livestock (which won't be for awhile yet).

thanks!

I've never had a problem either but some folks have. I believe they only eat certain varieties of zoas.

FWIW, they can also have an effect on your bristleworm population (valued scavengers IMO).

IME Peps are good at controlling aptasia but have their downsides (like most any crustacean).
