Its amazing what comes out when the lights go off. These things were attracted to light. There are some bright blue ones, and some red ones.

I was like HOLY ____, there is a ton of them, i had easily 2 hundred or so the first time!

Could they be Lancelets? They look a little more long and skinny than what Daniel had. And they didn't seem to be sitting on the glass.

tippMANn98 · 01-30-2008, 08:59 AM

mine didnt sit on the glass they scurried towards the light.., theirs eyes glowed with the flashlight on them, they are shrimp, that is a POSITIVE ID....

I have to disagree on the shrimp. Once in a while they would stop on the glass, and they look like mini bristle worms, but swim! I have baby mysid shrimp all over the place, and these look nothing like them. they are like a flat looking worm of sorts, and squiggle to swim. Very efficent swimmers though! Baby shrimp are usually white. These guys are red, and blue, and have no visible eyes like a baby shrimp.

These are in the water column most of the time. I can move the light from one end of the tank, 6 feet to the other end, and they follow it rapidly. They only stop on the glass for a second or so, then back in the water column...
