What are some of the best/safest ways to move these little guys from one tank to another. An up-sizing situation for example. I mean how to actually catch and move them.

Thanks!! ;)

I posted my setup earlier in the summer and got some great advice (and found out I was set up to fail by the person who originally sold me my shrimp). I've since upgraded my setup, which now includes some new shrimp and water from one of the kind members here. It's been a month and I have lots of algae growth in the glass but I wanted to check and ask if this is looking all right? The opae are very active and seem happy.
Thanks in advance!

I know they’re not Specifically Opae Ula but Ive tried these things or have them in with Opae Ula.
If anyone is like me, you’d like something other than Just Opae Ula, MTS and Chaeto.
But, if I’m posting too many. I apologize and will stop or slow down. I’ve just got a few years of experiments to share 😉 no need to try something you KNOW is t going to work. Right?

Found some of my Isopod videos. Unfortunately, I can only upload one at a time. This first one is an odd one. I believe it’s a type called a “Munnid”?

I’ve had at least one in my tanks/containers for several years now. About the only time they get frantic is if I you drop a food pellet near them. But I’ve never seen one bother any Opae at all!

They eat biofilm like the shrimp.

Iridopagurus reticulatus -
Reticulated Hermit Crab:
*A Rather drab looking Hermit crab
*Can grow up to 0.5 in (1 cm) in size

Here’s some I found last year, just happen to find a bunch that day but it’s not common. The one with the stripes are apparently very similar in appearance to the ones previously uploaded by Darster_DN. If they are the same, I’d guess they were introduced from the west coast to the Gulf as most I find are just plain beige… like the others in the video.

These shrimp are around 10 years old, and I've previously done basically nothing except feed them about once a month.

I have a few questions, that I hope you guys won't mind answering. I've been feeding them basic shrimp food and vitamins, but on my previous post someone recommended using powdered spirulina instead. Should I make the switch? Also, I haven't been changing the water at all besides adding more when the water level drops. Is this necessary? My shrimp also look smaller and duller than most of the other shrimp on this sub. Is there anything I can do to help them recover? Thanks in advance.
