    well I have one pep and one skunk shrimp, and recently I have noticed alot of tiny shrimp in the tank, though I think these are mysids. my fish two orange skunk clowns , lawnmower, watchman gobie, and orchid dottyback, dont seem to be finding them. they are around the powerheads in the tank but I never see any of the fish in these areas. I also have a breakout of what I think may be some type of hydroid but am not sure, its a stalk like a straw short off the rock with what looks like an glass anemone comin out of it, not aptasia, but similar with a hard stalk. any ideas, I know a pic would help how ever the camera comes at christmas. thanks for any help

    I had a bunch of tiny shrimp in my tank at one time too. The Pet Place said that one of the shrimp might have been pregnant

    From what I have read, it's not unusual to have a shrimp having babies. However, they say raising them is far more difficult. Don't be surprised to see a die off.
