When I first put my Tube Anemone into my invertebrate quarantine tank my peppermint shrimp immediately popped out from hiding and went to town eating its tentacles. So I quickly setup a tank divider and placed all peppermint shrimp on the other side. My question is simply what is the compatibility with peppermint shrimp and tube anemones? I felt like if left things to see what would play out the peppermint shrimp would've killed the tube anemone quickly. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks for any input.

I can only speak of personal experience, but the peps in my tank have never bothered my tube nem. Could simply be that I've been lucky.
