I was looking around in my tank last night with a flash light just to see the odd critters walking around. There was a swarm of little tadpoll looking thing. Had an orange dot (or the body was orange to small to tell) Very attracted to light, could swim on there own. It could possible be clowns, I am not sure if i have a pair, two cinnamon clowns There is definatly a male and female. Female about killed the male a few months ago but there cool now. They dont swim around together but the male does the little twitchy thing. I would thing I would notice a patch of eggs but maybe not. If i am in the wrong section possible direct me to the right one thanks.

Sounds like mysis/possum shrimp actually.

I'm thinking maybe mysid shrimp. You may not notice eggs if they are hidden, but they tend to stay pretty close to them and care for them. My male more so than the female.

How did they get in there? Live rock hitchikers? I just noticed them last night and it has been a few months and i havent added anything.

More than likely hitchikers.

So if it is mysis thats good right? something for my scooter to enjoy?

 

[dc]

Yep!

Will they reproduce? What do they eat?
