So these guys can be trapped in a magnetic field, just like normal matter.

Which is pretty cool, but it raises an interesting question about magnetic fields .... what are they, exactly, that they can interact with both matter and anti-matter without destroying it?

So, are you postulating the existence of an anti-magnetic field :)?

Anything with a charge, can be trapped in a magnetic field.

If I remember correctly, a magnetic field is produced by a (another) charge in motion.
