So last night I saw a ton of white specs floating around my fallow DT(my fisheeez are in hospital tank treating for velvet, boo). I sucked up a spec with an eye dropper and looked at it under the microscope(Pic 1). After googling, I came to the conclusion what I was seeing was hermit larvae. However, today I'm seeing larger babies that are actually visible to the human eye and they look more like shrimp(Pic 2)! Do they look the same or do I have some of both in my tank? (I have 2 grown Peppermint shrimp and many hermits in there currently)

Yes looks interesting but unfortunately does not help in real normal aquariums!

I need help with my goby acting weird since being kicked out.
