    This is very interesting. I was watching a feeder shrimp in the new 55, and out of a hole in a rock shot a bunch of white goo. The slime hit my power head and instantly disapeared..

    WTF??

    Is it "goo" or like a mist? I know stometella reproduce by shooting a white mist into the water that quickly disapears.

    they are pretty good actually, they eat algae on the rock and glass. They don't always do that out in the open, when I first saw it I just saw it shooting out of a crevice in my rock. Also, I've noticed that when one does it, a bunch more join in
