I took a few better photos of the system. The 55g display refugium.

The 150g display tank.

Indeed! Cool, common little critters! :)

Mysid is a classification of these creatures. (Actually, an Order.)

Mysis is a brand of food, composed of a type, or types, of Mysid shrimp.

Managed to get a few close ups with my old camera of the mysids since they were swarming a little more than usual today. It is extremely hard to get pics of them because they are very zippy.

In this pic you can see an amphipod and at the bottom of the pic you can see an adult Mysid Shrimp. All the little specs are the swarming babies.

Guarding babies!

A pic of side wall next to baffles. Thats a turbo grazer in between the baffles. A snail on front glass,and the swarm.

Fish eat them, so do molluscs.
