I have noticed about 6 or 7 small anemones (2-5mm) and thought my peppermint shrimp would eat them. The problem is that I do not want to make my shrimp feel stupid so I cannot just tell them where they are, so how do I get them to go to the table and eat? :?
 
:oops: Maybe I do not know what I am calling an Aptisia Anemone, but these things are too small to feed and the shrimp only come out when I am gone so I do not know what they like to eat. I am at a loss. :mrgreen: Thanks anyway.
 
hehe...quite the dilemma...I say give it time and the shrimp will find them. :mrgreen:
 
2 - 5mm doesn't sound like any Aitpasia I know of. Can you describe them better?

If you start hand feeding your Shrimp they will be a lot more social and you'll get to see them a lot more often.
 
How and what does one go about feeding a Peppermint shrimp? I will attach pictures of the growths so I can get and ID.
 
This is how I feed them....
