Mysis shrimp?

[Tyler_Fishman]

can mysis be really tiny? I’ve just added hermit crabs to my tank and they are small as well, it would of been impossible for them to spawn and produce zoa of the that size, they need to be much smaller, I don’t have a picture atm, but can mysis be really tiny? I’m having my doubts, I think what I’m seeing is crab larvae, and I’m not talking about penny size small I’m talking half a pencil led

Are they swimming around? If so, what your seeing might be Mysid shrimp.

Yes they chase the light, I believe I’ve read that article, they just look like crab larvae though, it’s so weird, I’m sure their mysis I just wanted a clarification. But I’m pretty sure crustacean larvae an swim aswell

Most planktonic crustacean larvae seem to spend most of their time just drifting about. The mysid shrimp in my tank are a whole 'nother story, zooming about the sand and rock with speed and apparent purpose.
