Peppermint Shrimp Vomited?

[ziouxpioux]

A couple days ago one of the peppermint shrimp spewed out of it's mouth a cloud of white. Almost reminded me of when my margarita snail released a sperm cloud but the shrimp cloud tho white was not as much nor as dense. Yet I did see something. Anyone have knowledge on what it was. The shrimp eat freeze dried mysis, krill bits or anything else the fish miss plus I give the carnivour invertibrates a silverside about once a week. Karen Campbell

OH BTW I have 2 of the 3 peppermint shrimp carrying eggs. When will these be shed?

Out of the year I've been reading off that site, I've only had to ask them one question.
