Something has hatched in my saltwater aquarium

ok, i look at my aquarium every day, and every night, to see its goings on, and tonight, i see, swimming around my moonlight, hundreds of small creatures a little larger than the period at the end of this line .
..look like they have a whip like tail,,,,and they are attracted to the moonlght..anyone know whats up??

[scuba_steve]

do you have shrimps?? if so thats prob the babies

[kingparsy]

i have 1 coral banded shrimp.but hes been the only shrimp in the tank for 3 months....i feed frozen brine shrimp, but of course its frozen

[kingparsy]

im assuming they are copepods of some sort

[scuba_steve]

one cant do it by it self so rule that out heheheh
i have a pair of cleaners that release babies monthly ! but other than that mabe some mysis shrimps?¿? would be my guess

[kingparsy]

well, i noticed small animals, 1/3 od the size of these about 2 weeks ago under a rock, smiiming/running around like an ant colony, then then dissapeared, now these guys, maybe some kind of development stage or something

[scuba_steve]
