Found a baby Bangaii!

I had suspected that my Bangaii pairs were starting to mate, but hadn't seen babies before; found this guy hanging out in a Monti! Can't find him or any others anymore, but was cool while it lasted...

When my tank crashed I discovered 3 tiny babies in my display tank. They lasted about 3 days.

Outside in my sump I found another 11 babies. After everything my system went through in the last 5 months, the babies survived and have gotten pretty good sized. And now there is a second group of 4 tiny babies.

Mine are in a rock sump with some large clowns and tangs. They hang out over some large bubble anemones in the open. I don't feed them anything and they seem to be doing great.

Saw a big Male with a bunch in his mouth - fun to watch. Still havent seen anymore free-swimming ones though.

Baby bangaiis are so darn cute!

found 2 more, much bigger than before; i think they may even make it!

scary though, one was in my refugium with my mantis shrimp!! no clue how he survived that!

AAAAUUUWWW! So cute!
@Spar, perhaps it was too small to attract the mantis' attention?

You can feed them frozen baby brine shrimp if you want to improve their chances.

They just get Rod's Food and whatever coral food (frenzy, roids, chili). These last 2 had pretty fat bellies. I'm not interested in raising them though. I almost always have at least one Male with a mouth-full of babies!
