So i found a few little aiptasia heads on my rock last night, and my tank is a 40 breeder with one skunk(?) shrimp in it. How many peppermint shrimp should I get to get ride of these little guys?

If the aiptasia are really small then you should only need one shrimp but that's hoping you get the one that has an immediate appetite for aiptasia. In a 40 breeder I would pick up 3. Odds are at least one of the three will know right away that it can eat aiptasia and the other two will jump on board thereafter.

haha that's pretty legit but I just wouldn't trust it and I don't have enough time to get it all. Maybe I will head to catfish charlies and get 2 or 3 shrimp this weekend
