Ira Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 What are baby shrimp called? Anyway, it was standing on top of a rock waving the fins under its abdomen and these little less than a mm long threads would go twitching away into the current. Ok, back to disassembling my leaky failed attempt to jury rig a powerhead inline with the pump to my POS skimmer for a bit more pressure.

Interfecus Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 It could be a nauplius, but only if it isn't segmented, has 3 pairs of legs, and one eye. Crustaceans have some of the oddest life cycles imaginable. If in doubt, just call them "first instar shrimp" or "small shrimp" or, even simpler, "those little shrimpy things".
