That is aiptasia. A pest glass anemone. You will need to use a product like aiptasia-x or joe's juice or injecting it with boiling water or lemon juice to get rid of it.
 
Using livestock to manage a minor issue is usually a bad idea. Afterwards you then have to keep them alive, and if they are something that only consumes that one thing then you will have to supply food for them to eat.
Tie that in with it being hit or miss with peppermint shrimp. They can, doesn't mean that they will.
