| Plate Coral  | What the heck? Baby Shrimp?? I can't get a photo... But tonight I'm looking into the tank after the lights go out to see swarms of what looks like baby shrimp?? Tink little thing "swimming" around. About the size of medium copapods, buy looks like they have a red tail. Really looks like micro shrimp? I do have 1 Coral Banded 1 cleaner shrimp 1 pepermint shrimp I've had all three for at least 6 months with no mates... Where the heck would they come from?? The only wird thing I did earlier was retrive a leather coral that fell down behind some rocks, and shook it out to get sand and crud off of it, and skin went everywhere like it was shedding...??? Anyone have a clue? |
