my cleaner shrimp just gave birth
I saw it come out of a hole right after the lights went out. It started flapping its legs frantically. now about a million babies are floating around. my corals are loving it!

My Clarks always have a clutch or two a month. Not sure how many go down the drain, but I do know that everone (including mom and dad) get in on the snacking action...

BTW I'm going to be setting up a breeding tank for them shortly. Should be fun!
