Well I posted pictures of the pregnant banded coral shrimp yesterday and she popped last night at about 11pm. I saw some babies alive and kicking in my corner overflow and in the refugium this morning. I think any babies in the display take will become Mandarin food.

    For anyone who has an unquenchable need to know what has happened to all the baby banded coral shrimp you are in luck. Well, some got eaten right away, but many have survived to this day.

    There are at least a dozen, if not more, in my overflow buzzing around and up and down the rocks I put in there.

    To my surprise I have seen several still alive in the display tank. They seem to inhabit small nooks and crannies and seem to always be scurrying around in their small dens. They are easy to spot with a flash light as their eyes are reflective.

    I have spotted several moving around in the refugium as well. I think the refugium is their best bet for survival. It will be interesting to see how long they take to grow.

    On a related note, the adult shrimp are expecting once again!
