Okay so I’m pretty sure I just found a baby shrimp in my tank. I was cleaning some algae off a zoa and afterwards there was like 7-10 pods In the little cup I put the frag in but this one guy just really looked different to me. It had 4 antenna(from what I could see) and it moved exactly like a shrimp. I only have 3 types of shrimp in my tank. Pistol(which I have 2) cleaner(I HAD 2) and one peppermint. I know it’s kind of hard to tell through my phone camera and maybe I’m bugging and it’s just a pod but my tank is LOADED with pods and I’m like 90% sure it wasn’t a pod. Any ideas?
 
In most cases thats just a regular mysis shrimp, if you keep it in some small container and check if it grows bigger or something its not a mysis i think
 
Def mysis. I have thousands in my tank. Great biodiversity and free fish food. Dose some phyto every once in a while to help feed them and you will soon have many.
 
Here’s a video I took at night which shows them. This is just one section of an 8 ft tank so they are all over. During the day I see absolutely none.
