Baby peppermint shrimp? -help please
Hello guys,
My tank has been up for about a month with my peppermint shrimp being one if it's first inhabitants. Yesterday evening I saw multiple little things swimming around as freaked out thinking it was a bad thing until I figured they were some sort of small fish. I have 2 clowns and 2 chromis but being in the tank for too little. I was able to scoop 2 out into a plastic jar. Pic is below, they look more like baby shrimps. How do I take care of them to have a shot at growing them?? Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

That's an isopod, can't believe you were able to catch it with a net. Hard to tell from pics whether it's a Cirolanid or a Sphaeromatid but you may want to give this a read--- http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/bp/index.php

I would get rid of those. I see them on the cheeks of grouper I catch in the Gulf of Mexico, pretty nasty little parasites. Surprisingly fast too once off their host.
