looked at the tank yesterday around midnight just before going to bed and noticed a big load of floating debris in the water, turned on the moonlights and on closer look I thought it was a new hatch from my maroon clowns (now in the sump!!!)
Picked up the camera and grabbed a few shots (used my 50mm 1.4 with 3 extension tubes 60mm in total) didn't have my tripod and macro rail but I still got lucky with the following shots.
On closer look it seems these are from my fire shrimps. Jsut hoping some of them will make it, still I think they have a very difficult larva stage as well as the tank being new so lacking all phyto and zoo planctonic matter.
Love this shot the most

First time I'm seeing something like this...it's really beautiful and amazing at same time.
Big congratulations to ya!! The fire shrimp pair seems to be comfortable already in ur tank
You gonna try salvaging the babies? I'm sure u can rear them in a smaller separate tank with few mature live rock or maybe an estabilshed refugium of a friend?
Good luck.
Must be pretty cool to see those tiny guys skittering about in ur tank.
Happy Reefing!!

1st time I see this as well although the shrimps have been iny old tank for quite some time. Unfortunately my fuge has fish in it still awaiting bring transfered so they would consume them. Remember reading that they have a very difficult larval stage so not sure they'll make it. Especially that my tank is bot mature and has no phyto or zooplancton... So didn't catch any. Will definitly read on those a bit and maybe try setting up a small tank for the coming batch hopefully. Yesterday had my camera, tripod and macro focusing rail for some better shots but I didn't spit any shrimps! Not sure if they are hiding in the rocks or if my fish ate them...
Wondering about adding a few shrimps as they spawn frequently and are a good food source for fish and corals...

Lucky Maroun you have got baby shrimps
When you build your tank what type of silicone did you use?
Yep I'm just wishing so will make it...
The builder used Den Braven aquarium grade Silicon

Thanks TEO
Thanks Capn. Glad to have you back on a new thread Capn
Thanks
Thanks,
Like my previous 150G it's going to be an SPS dominated mixed reef. After having many of my colonies reduced to tiny frags through a long and never ending move I'm starting with SPS frags so it might appear LPS dominated at first...
Updates to come coming week as I'm finally flying home tonight for a couple of weeks and should have time to start moving corals in.
