![]() They may indeed be actual Mysis sp. - ultimately just part of your 'pods population - and yes a good thing - and they'll come in on anything - coral rubble live rock etc.
You are seeing them there because it's harder for fish to eat them all if they can't get at them. Kind of shows how things like pod piles can work well though (small piles of live rock rubble with lots of gaps for the pods to establish "safe havens").

![]() well sweet! Now that I'm thinking about it, for the first 8ish months the tank was running I was using herbies, so there were no standpipes in my overflows and nothing built up at the bottom of it because everything just got sucked down in to a filter sock. Now that there's Durso standpipes in there the overflows are starting to act like something of a refugium. That's probably why I didn't notice them last December, there had only been standpipes in there for a month by then.

![]() I had lots of rubble in my 30in deep overflows and they were crawling with them. I even fed them cyclop-eeze. Then the baby bangaii got in their and survived on them until they could eat larger food.
