Do camel shrimp bother corals?
I was at my LFS looking for pepermints to get rid of my growing aptasia problem but alas... none. They did have camel shrimp they were giving away so I figured I'd take one as I thought they ate leftovers and would add some diversity to my tank. However, I was just looking on Premium Aquatics at their pepermints and they state that camels "bother corals". Is this true?
Thanks

YES, shut up Spanks, know this one from personal experience, camel shrimp are damsel crustaceans, devil spawn 
Seriously not safe around polypy corals, oops , thats most of them

Now you all know officially I do not advocate indiscriminate murder of reef organisms, tho some times "things happen" and I can sanction that
