Requesting to know if these are clown fish babies?

[Anish55]

I noticed today these orange babies with distinct black eyes and tail only 1.5 month old 29G reef tank. My tanks has a pair of clownfish, 4 snails, 4 crabs and 11 LPS corals frags. Requesting to check the attached image and tell if these are babies of any? If so, what should I do?

don’t think so. When they hatch they swim. These look like they are attached to the thermometer. Maybe get a closer pic and post in the hitchhiker forum

Oh sure, thank you will post it there.
Here is a closer pic just in case.

Hmmm. Now you got me. They look like fry. Are the moving around? Maybe shrimp?

Yeah I’m thinking some type of shrimp. No shrimp in you tank? Maybe eggs came with a coral. Post it in a forum that addresses that. From what I read, even if shrimp spawn, the babies never make it. Would be cool though if some did.

Oh thank you, I saw one moving around but others are just stuck to the thermometer. No shrimp in the tank but as you said coming from corals can be a possibility since I just added 6 new corals to the tank.

The first picture made me think diatoms...but the close up picture...I was like, “Are those EYES?”.

It looks very similar to the mysis shrimp that I feed. TBH those eyes always creep me out.
