Default Another Peppermint Shrimp ? (AIPTASIA)

Hello all,
I have discovered what I think to be glass anemones (AIPTASIA). I was thinking about trying peppermint shrimp to control them. I really hate adding any chemicals to my tank. My ? is I have a fairly good sized Sebae Anemone, can the peppermint shrimp be in the same tank, are is he going to eat them. Does anyone have Pepps that live with a Sebae. Thanks in advance. Mickey!

I am having difficulty inserting photos so here are some links if anyone is interested in seeing my sebae and the pesty little guys.

These are what I think to be aiptasia attached to the base of a xenia plug it is compressed from me moving around for photo. there are 3-4 on this frag, and 2-3 more in my tank.

Here is a pic of my Sebae

about inserting pictures, i see that you are already using photobucket so this is going to be really easy. You may actually kick yourself after all is said and done. When you are looking at the picture and there are 4 yellow boxes under it, one will say image code. Click that twice and it will say "copied" then just come here and paste it in the window and it will show the picture. It will mroe than likely be easier to have 2 internet windows open so you can just jump back and forth.

Well so far so good. I bought 3 Peppermints Monday, and all 3 are still kicking. Thanks Mickey!

Peppermints really do eat aiptasia. Last night I noticed them feeding by the moonlight. This morning when I checked my tank two of my pests were gone. 2 down 5-6 to go. Thanks Mickey!
