    Well, I don't want shrimp in that tank. The shrimp in the past would steal food from my anemones, it was really annoying. I've also heard that peppermints will attack any kind of anemone, even anemones that host clownfish. I have heard of this particular butterfly is easy to get to adapt to aquarium life. I have also read that it is hands down one of the best butterflyfish for controlling aiptasia in the home aquarium.
