Hermit crab spawn

W

Wicked Irish

Well, I set up my frag tanks a month ago and started transitioning all my hermits out of my main reef tank so when I order a butt load of snails they wouldnt be getting eaten constantly, this morning i popped the light on and there are a bunch of little fry guys flicking around in there, very neat, didnt know they would spawn like that, any tips for care anyone?
 
Just like shrimp, they probably won't make it. Maybe a bit longer if there's no fish or shrimp in there to eat them up immediately. I had that happen back in February, and even after years of reefing had no idea they'd spawn in our tanks LOL. Are there still a bunch today? If so, you could always google...trouble is you'll mostly find land hermit care. This was the only thing I could find back in February: http://www.marinebreeder.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2525&highlight=.
 
there was minimal information on the subject when i looked a few months ago. i think i found 1 or 2 threads that were, unfortunately, not kept up with

good luck
 
yeah, looking at what, 36 hours now? They have spread somewhat to the otherside of the tank which has a glass seperator, and a few have managed to make it into the main frag tank and im certain some are in the refugium now also, guess im gonna just wait and see what happens, im in the middle of a massive pod outbrak as well at the moment so its making it rough to see how many exactly.
