I have a 30 cube with a pair of clowns, and a coral banded shrimp. I've had the coral banded for almost a year. The rock is all newly "live" dry rock so no hitchhikers. My coral banded seems to have delivered thousands of tiny coral banded. The fish made short work of them but I was able to capture two. Are coral banded asexual? There is no way it could have breed. The babies are tiny, with fan tails and two large claws. They look just like the big ones. Just tiny.

What else do you have in the tank? (hermits?) With just one CBS I don't see how this would be possible.
 
They are not, they need a mate to breed so A) you have a banded breeding with something esle in the tankand make hybrids (don't even know if this is possible but it would be awesome!) or B) they are some kind of pod.
 
Pics are hard to tell on my phone but not possible. Must be hitchhikers from something u added to tank
