I assume the green stuff is eggs...

My cleaner shrimp (one of 'em) has green stuff that looks like wasabi under her legs. That's eggs, right? The reading materials I've read don't have pictures. 21 day incubation, right? Do I have to do anything to help her/it along? I also understand they're hermaphrotidic, which is why I might also be seeing a little green under the OTHER cleaner shrimp...

I'll post pics in a bit.

yeppers, green eggs and ham

Definitely not wasabi.

ew. I don't think I'll be going for sushi today...

Mine get those all the time too. My mandarin looks really fat and happy when the green disappears. Actually, it's probably because my tank is swarming with pods...
