7 months ago, we put 2 peppermint shrimp into our 125g mixed reef. Recently, I've noticed that they are both really fat. I wondered if they were... "with larvae". Last night, while feeding a 3rd peppermint shrimp made an appearance. It was about 1/2 the size of the larger shrimp, but way larger than I would expect offspring to be.
I read a couple of articles about peppermint shrimp life cycle. From what I read, it would NOT be an accident to have shrimp make it through the larval stage without considerable effort.
Plausible? Where did the extra shrimp come from?
