In a thumb-sized hole in my rather holey reef rock, we've noticed some back and forth swimming motes that (because they're in a hole) we can only see in silhouette against the back glass. They're very active, and fairly numerous. They resemble baby guppies in their flitting behavior and in size and shape.
The tank is 6 months old, with really ancient live rock from somebody else's tank. Everything else lived, but I think eggs from that far back would be odd.
This leaves us with the current population: hermits (scarlets and blueleg); fish, all singles, no 2 of same species; snails of various sort; a solo emerald crab; and a LOT of crawling life. We thought maybe amphipods, but they're a straight line with a stomach, and flit.
Ideas?
