Woke up this morning to quite the surprise in my tank (this has been happening far too frequently for my liking!) An explosion of what looks to be very very tiny baby shrimp, but i dont have any marine shrimp except for my brand new pistol shrimp.

They're suspended in the water column, there's probably a hundred or more, and clownfish have been eating them. Best pic i can get is just showing them suspended in the tank. They also can move on their own, theyre kind of shaped like a comma.

Anyone know what the lil things are? I'm hoping its a free copepod explosion.
 
Pods. Good thing to have in your tank!
