Coral banded Shrimp Larvae?

[erndog1001]

Last night I was feeding well after lights out. All of a sudden I noticed a swarm of some kind of larvae in my flashlight beam.
They were about 1/16 of an inch and the best I can describe them is that they kind of looked like mosquito larvae.And there were perhaps 300-400 of them.
Now I can tell you they were not brine shrimp I've seen enough of those to know.
I do have Emerald Crabs (3) Although I have not seen 2 of them for some time.
Had 4 peppermint shrimp but also have not seen them for a long time.
I do have 3 Coral Banded Shrimp and Iknow for a fact that a pair of them have mated bc I've seen her carrying the babies. just never seen her shake them loose.
Anybody ever seen the larvae that can tellme if thats what I saw?

It could have been a mysid shrimp bloom. Free fish food!

Ok mystery solved While at my LFS I asked this kid (who also happens to be a marine biologist) if he could help. He immediately went into the back room and came back with a small container with just a bit of water in it.
In it was one of the tiny shrimp I had seen. They are called Possum shrimp and are fairly common. I must have gotten them in a bag with something I bought there.

Possum shrimp are mysids.
