Of course they interact with photons. Photons are how electric and magnetic fields are propagated. So if they can be contained by an electromagnetic trap, they interact with photons.

I think I should've been more specific—I know that the two interact, but I wasn't sure if they /react/. That is, would collision between photons and antimatter produce the same sort of decay as matter-antimatter collision. Some research suggests that it indeed would.
If they can be trapped using photons for this long, I guess they don't react?
