    Hi Callum,

    Well I aslo have seen on other BB reports of this, but a little unsure on truth of it.

    I would imagine a true peppermint from James, would be a safer bet. :)

    Sorry, but I had to laugh. :D Your title had me imagining this huge aptasia eating an unsuspecting fish.

    But no, I know nothing about this.
