Sadly I have no pictures to offer, as not only are they small but its the middle of the night.
But I just looked into one of my tanks and noticed the water column teeming with little shrimp-like larvae!
They are being tossed around by the current and are entirely at it's mercy and show no signs of clinging to any surfaces, so I'm discounting Mysid shrimp. They seem to propel themselves in shrimp-like fashion with bursts from their tails, they are incredibly tiny.
I have no fish in the tank and no shrimp, the only crustaceans I have is a lone reclusive pistol shrimp and three blue-legged hermit crabs.(originally 7 but I split them up between tanks)
Is it actually possible I got a crapload of tiny little hermits on my hands?(though I don't expect them to survive in this hostile environment)
