This is my first go at these. Any ideas on how to recover the napulli in a 125 gal?

In a recent volume of Coral magazine there was an ingenius little snagger, one of which I built in about 15 minutes. It involves a yogurt quart container, some plastic glue, a small funnel, and a night light. I got hundreds of peppermint shrimp larvae from the parental tank using it. Alternatively, Vossen makes a lovely snagger.

well I never purchased a larval snagger or built one, But I will do so. I tried something to see if it would work. I read all the reports on this shrimp, And Fishboy13 had said that the eggs hatch on the 12th day. So I pulled the filter pad out of my sump before lights out until I noticed momma shrimp did not have any eggs. I was not sure if it would work. But then I found these

These are the best pictures I could get. I dont have a microscope yet. I thought they came out pretty good for using a cell phone camera and a magnifying glass.

Not sure you have what you think you have. Shouldn't those eyes be on stalks? Is it possible you have mysis or hitchhikers from your live rock? I'm no expert on ambionensis, but….Where is Luis?
