Peppermint Shrimp as cleaners?

[KennyZush]

Just added a couple of peppermint shrimp to my tank last night, and within minutes, my flame angel seemed to be visiting it for a cleaning!

I know the peppermint shrimp are famous for eating aiptasia, but I was not aware that they would perform the duties of a cleaner shrimp.

Anyone ever see this before?

They will occasionally clean but not as frequently as the skunk cleaner shrimp.

I have had a few that would clean, maybe 2 out of six or so that I have had.

My Fire/Blood shrimp have all been active cleaners. They also like to kill the peps sp it seesm to be one or the other.
