I've read that peppermint shrimp eat aiptasia anemones. Will they bother tiny xenia polyps (look like tiny anemones)? My xenia in my pico split, and I have a small xenia (3-4 polyps) that I was thinking of adding to my 29g (with 2 large peppermint shrimp).
 
I have about 30 heads of xenia with 5 peppermint shrimp and they havent touched any at all. Then again, I got the shrimp to eat my aiptasia and they dont touch that either, but I havent heard of peppermints eating xenia before.
 
My peppermints (2) in my 29 haven't touched mine either. But they have erradicated my aptasia problem!
