Will try but it is like a dark cavern, I can see little pair of eyes on each but that's about it.

if your going to move them to another tank, i heard shining a flashlight at the top of the water will attract them during lights out. Then you can just scoop them out.

yes, I have bred and raised many hundred clownfish. I'm currently breeding 6 species of clowns as well as cardinals and dottybacks

I'm really curious to what they are, there are dozens of these minnows underneath and between the live rock. I have tons of those little white starfish in the tank, but they don't metamorphisize from minnows, right? Anyone else, ever see tiny little fish/minnows on the bottom of their tank under rock with crevices? I'm pretty well agree with sick lid that they aren't clown fry, but what are they? There's really tiny ones buzzing around the bottom but there are larger ones, so they are surviving. I'm starting to think that they were always there but I never noticed.

I have some in my HOB refugium that swim around really quick but I'm pretty sure they are a pod of some sort.....

Look very similar to fry from my cichlid days but I know they are not....

So that would be my guess (they always hang near the rocks cover, etc.)

They range in size, I was thinking perhaps the cleaner shrimp that I thought had died never comes out and has somehow reproduced. If they are pods, my mandarin has enough food until 2012.
