Hi Reverend_Maynard,
IME the Peppermint Shrimp are pretty shy. I have had several pairs over the years and rarely saw them. They should not pose any food competition issues. The red and white cleaner shrimp are however another story. I found them to be quite bold. I have always had Ocean Rider Seahorses and none of mine have ever shown any interest in the ornamental or cleaner shrimp they have cohabitated with.
HTH,
Leslie
