Exclamation Live Mysis in Tank?

Whos got mysis running around their tanks and how did you get them? I cant find that thread but I am curious, after reading something back than someone mentioned that they had a large population of live mysis in their refugium. So where do they come from and is it possible to have live mysis running around the tank?

I have a huge population in my tank. May have come from live rock but more likely from small mushroom rock pieces I bought from a LFS. They are great to have.Running all over the place at night and quite a bit during the day as well.

I have them all over my fuge. I assume they just came on the live rock. It's possible to have them running around in the display if you don't have specific pod hunters, or your tank is large enough where the pod hunters don't do much damage.

I believe you can get them at Inland Aquatics. They do show up as hitchikers, I used to see them before my tank crashed. Best way to tell if you have any is to go on a night flashlight run. They seem to swarm to the light, very fast moving and you can really notice their eyes.
