Baby shrimp

[PeterEde]

Now this was a surprise.
I've not seen my pepper shrimp for months and only had one.
I've got 1 coral banded.
So where did these come from.?

I've had a single Cleaner Shimp (Lysmata amboinensis) hatch babies many times in my tank. I can see the babies at night with a flashlight.... they are always gone by the next morning. Same holds true for a Clownfish pair that are also in the tank.

Hopefully some survive in the live rock. But I have a mandarin so she'll get most hiding.
Next time I'll skim them out and put in QT

Be keeping a few of those. Expensive here.
