Uso??? (Unidentified Swimming Object)
« on: August 26, 2012, 22:24:28 »
Unidentified swimming object. Was doing some maintenance in the tank today. Trimming the xenia & something went swimming out of the rocks. I didn't get a good look @ it. I am sure it wasn't a pod. It was larger than the largest pod in my tank. And it swam more like a shrimp. It was very clear from what I got to see of it before the green wrasse ate it. It was big enough it took him a couple trys to get it down. It all happened so fast I couldn't get a good look @ it. So my question is. Could I have some kind of shrimp in my tank? I never put any live shrimp in there other than the 2 blood shrimp. Any thoughts?

They come in with your live rock. They are good, eat leftover food and fish like to eat them.
