Default UPDATED PICS: Baby Bangaii Cardinal

A few months ago, I noticed my pair of bangaiis doing "funny" things around a rock. One was quivering/shiverring really close beside the other one. I didn't think much of it. Today, I was cleaning up a flood in my basement when I noticed a rather large pod in my sump. I usually have tons of pods swimming up down and around the sump but this guy was huge. I looked closer and its a baby bangaii cardinal I'm so happy - its about 3/8" long and i think its been feeding on the pods because there's no other food source in that area of the sump. I tried taking a picture but not having any success.

Is there anything I should do to ensure its survival? I'm thinking if its gotten that big by itself, I should just leave it to get more mature.

Well I can't find the baby bangaii that was in my sump anymore but then I found one "hosting" in my elegance. I know it didn't get pumped up there or else it would be dead from the mak4 but here a pic of it:


In comparison to my cleaner shrimp (which is rather large anyways),



I've put a thin line yellow circle around the baby bangaii to show where it is.
I suspect I have a few more around hiding but I will keep looking. Its kinda cool to see. I hope I get a few little babies that survive.
