We have a 150 with a 55 fuge. The fuge just has some local turtle grass, and a few rocks. A few of the coral rocks we've bought have had mysis in them. They went in the main tank and we figured they became food. Now we have so many mysis in the fuge, it looks like a snow globe (not kidding). Anyone else experience this total outbreak? Its been going on for months now. I'm clearly not complaining. We've had them so long we've noticed changes in behavior. They used to guard their young, living in rocks and staying inside them almost exclusively. Now the adults are still mostly in the rocks, but they haven't guarded the young in several generations. The babies just snowglobe the fuge. I did my best with the pics. All the white dots are mysis.
