Was that in your large tank? Did you know he was there or was that a hitchhiker. I remember the harlequin star in your smaller tank.

brewcm, that pic you posted is definitely a mysis shrimp. They are great to have in your tank.
did you know hat they only carry one baby at a time? It is born a tiny little shrimp. Makes you wonder where they all came from knowing that, right? The point is that a wrasse or mandarin can eat them faster than they can reproduce in most tanks even though they tend to be nocturnal and retiring to caves and holes.

Cool, I never really got a good look at them in the main tank because of all the rock work. I really only saw them at night but now in the fuge there's hundreds of them. They must reproduce like crazy then once they get going.
