Peppermint Shrimp

I have been taking care of aiptasias with aiptasia control, but with very little ones it is hard to get the drop on them. I have heard that peppermint shrimp are good at controling aiptasias when they are small. Would that be the best thing to get or is their something else that could control them better?

I have 2 in my tank and they did eat some of my aptasia, but not all. It is a hit or miss. Some will eat it and some won't. It is worth a shot though. They are also fun to watch and not expensive.
