peppermints mate?

[smartwater]

So yeasterday I noticed my bangi cardnals going ape you know what, eating thin ( water) i looked closer and i saw little sperm like critters with little black eyes making short aggressive thrusts through the water, I collected one and it appeared to be a mini me version of a shrimp. Yey or neh? sorry no pics too hard to get one

Probably just a pod. Lights just coming on when you noticed this?

I noticed a outbreak of them in a small area for short time just as lights went out. then they were all eaten up. all of them were in same mid level of tank I dont think they were pods ive seen them before larger and small sizes

Edit: nothing else in my tank could have really mated as far as i know black n white clowns maybe but the eyes on these lil guys were wide open

I have a sump of peppermints... Started with 5 probably have twenty bow so yes they mate. Good natural food for fish and coral, peppy eggs that is.

Sell me some lol., i could never get them to reproduce due to my wrasse

You have to put them somewhere protected. Before I had wrasse myself they would make their way into the display.

The problem is catcing the little guys. I have no less than 125lbs of rock in refug. As soon as they see me reaching in they hide.
