Cleaner shrimp Just give Birth
So i turned around and saw hundreds if not thousands of small white things i though my filter back had split and been torn apart by the fan but no my new cleaner shrimp who i've had for just over a week has given birth ***!, Now i know they'll all die due to my filtration system but do i need to do anything in regards to removing them as all i have in my tank is a clean up crew , 1 Cleaner 3 turbo , white claw hermit and Halloween hermit
Heres some pictures |

Not much you can do in that regard. They will eventually die off due to their nutritional needs not being met in their current form, or like you said, become a victim of the filtration system.

I have had peppermints reproduce before. Best way to catch any if they are still alive is shut off every single source of water movement at night. Shine a flashlight down from the surface a they should swim towards it. It's then easy to catch them. Beyond that, good luck, mine were much bigger and none survived.
