Aren't cleaner shrimp spawns grand?

Aren't cleaner shrimp spawns grand? (at least that's what I think they were)... hundreds of floating 2mm baby shrimp =)

(no, not amphipods... they're something with heads, tails and squirming legs that look like they're trying to grab onto anything =)

Not sure... what was also interesting was I tried to feed the cleaner shrimp but they weren't interested in food at all! (quite unusual) All three were just running/swimming around and paid no interest to me =( This was good though as they didn't try to steal my coral spot feeding =)

The number of successful cleaner shrimp breeders can probably be counted on one hand with fingers left over. There's a thread in the Breeding forum if you can find it where someone successfully got one adult after several batches and many months of effort.
