Came home from a midnight SPS shipment, took a peek at my nano and realized that my Randal's pistols (Alpheus randalli had released a batch of larvae. Of course, I had to scoop them out
The larvae look larger and more robust than larvae of shrimp like cleaners - they look strikingly similar to small sized mysis shrimp. Don't see any long antennae like in some of the other shrimp (at least to the naked eye).
Anyone have any idea as to what to do with them? I just dumped the usual rotifers and microalgae with them and we'll see what happens in the morning.....
