Cool little critters

[Aquattro]

Just looked in the tank with a flashlight....I've got thousands of little critters swimming around that look like newly hatched brine shrimp. Anyone know what these could be, other than coral food?

Lee has some of those swimming around too. His are cleaner shrimp babies. Might be that, or something esle

Jack, you're probably right. A big feast in the tank tonight!!!

If you have a pair of any type of shrimp in your tank, that is likely exactly what you have, a big hatch of baby shrimp.

If you are lucky enough to catch it, it happens just after lights out, once or twice a month depending on how many shrimp you have in the tank.

Very cool event. I have only seen it once in my tank, but the corals and night feeders surely will be feasting.
