they may or may not eat both... FWIW, I have many zoos and 6 peppermints with no problem.

You should not have an issue with the peppermint shrimp and the zoas, I've never experienced an issue personally, and I have many zoas in my tank with peppermint shrimp.

Its really hit or miss. I have a peppermint and he doesn't bother the zoas.... or the aptasia
