I've attached a video of me trying to focus in on these tiny jerky-moving things near the sand in my tank. I had just sprayed some Reef Roids on a coral down there and then noticed these things darting all over the place. Hard to focus in with just a photo.

Are these copepods or did my clownfish have fry without me knowing? Am I a proud papa or just a crustacean shepherd?

Edit:
I've been squinting a lot and I noticed that the bigger ones have two tails. And I watched a video and they seem to be copepods.

So mystery already solved. Now I just have to figure out how to keep them alive.

They love Phytoplankton. I got great Phyto from @mitch91175. Great seller.
