We just got home from a movie and peeked in the tank and WOW there were like thousands of tiny shrimp looking things swimming around and being blown around in the current. At first glance i hoped to see pods as my pod population is nill from having a sand sifting star which I've yet to catch. They were almost clear bodied and had the shape of a shrimp with a white speck in the middle and there were thousands. My goby and clowns were going nuts chowing down on them. You think my cleaners mated? They both had been hiding toward the back of the tank for awhile
