I found these 3 larvae attached to each other on the substrate. They are startled by an adult opae ula. http://youtu.be/DrmvxfMmVJ0

That's great. They look to be about maxed out with eggs. Good luck with them!

Thanks Harry. I wish I could keep it in focus a bit better, but that's about the best I can do with what I have.

The focus goes in and out a little because I'm doing this all without a tripod, just holding the camera in my hand. Viewed in full screen you can see better detail. http://youtu.be/XG3YKIFYMi4

I really like your tank design. Very calming and pleasing to look at.

Thanks Mustafa. Yes, eggs with a shrimp attached must have been about right.

Thanks Harry. Yes, she has quite a few. I've been meaning to compliment you on your hermits and the bright shells. They look very nice. Good luck with them.

Caught this one close to the front glass so I was able to take a short video of her. http://youtu.be/cX7qjzZZl78

That's great. The first berried shrimp is exciting to find.

Thanks Mustafa.

I'm not saying kelp is a main food for them. I think most find that spirulina is eaten well by them, but they don't really need constantly fed. Just let some algae grow.

I feed NLS foods to my fish. I also feed Omega One veggie rounds and a generic algae wafer to my freshwater shrimp. The opae ula seem to prefer the Omega One wafers. It has kelp and spirulina as the first two ingredients. I think they aren't too picky though.

I wish you the best with her.

Thank you. The macro lens sure causes any small movement to be exaggerated. It's a bit hard to keep it in focus but I hope it made the short video at least somewhat interesting.

This shows a close-up of an opae ula feeding in one of my tanks. This is the first time using my cell phone and a small macro lens. Sorry if it shakes at times and just a little blurry at times. http://youtu.be/D29zJnHlh5w Here is another I'll add showing the shrimp from the front. http://youtu.be/d...
