r/OpaeUla

Inshallalah they won’t become Opae food (or food for the four other filter feeders in my tank)

These guys might eat Opae larva, but dont live long enough for it to matter (like 6 months). My Opae won’t be breeding for a while. Sorry for poor focus, my phone is buns

1+ year into owning 30+ red opae ula and no babies.

3 months into owning 7 yellow/orange opae ula and have finally spotted my first egger ever.

Finally going to become a shrimp dad 🥹

I set up this tank a few weeks ago. My shrimp dont seem to swim much, I can't find half of them and I just saw one die.

Salinity seems to be good, I fed just a little bit in those weeks. Somebody has any tips ?

Picking bits of the hair algae off them. Makes the Opae tank look better having them to clean up the stuff that gets out of control

Sorry for the poor video, it seems to happen infrequently and not for long so it was difficult to capture. I think its the same shrimp every time, they kind of curl up into a stereotypical cooked shrimp shape. They also only do it while clinging onto a rock.

What does this behavior mean? Is it anything to be concerned about?

EDIT: Now I've seen that multiple shrimp are doing this behavior!
