They have alway been living in my frag tanks. So when I got the S. Bandensis eggs I started looking for an alternate food source other than mysid/s. Tried tiny asian shore crabs which infest our shores, they didn't touch them. Tried copepods which didn't work very well either. Then I tried the Munnids which seemed perfect. To my surprize they hunted them down and ate everyone in the tank

My good supply is about 40 to 60 a day. Keep in mind I also have a 45 gal reef and a 30 gal refuge all on the same system. The reef may actually be hurting me meaning clowns, bristletail file and shrimp are probably eating the Munnids in the reef. The are no fish or shrimp in the frag tank.

Great! You doing anything specific to get them to grow or are they just doing in?

Rich we met a few years ago at NERAC (Atlantis) I sent you a PM.

I remember! I'll check PM's now.

No they just started growing. I have noticed the more I let the algae growthe more Munnids.

Do you have some Munnids? If you were closer I would stop by with some butthe last time I drove to the west coast it took two weeks ;-) took the scenicroute.

I am currently searching for a little larger isopods to bridge the gapbetween Munnids and Shore/Ghost shrimp, another herbivore would be perfect. Ofcourse it must be easy to culture...
