Why wouldn't the Opae Ula share his food? Because he was a little shellfish 
A dedicated forum and online store for the Opae ula shrimp!
That will buffer your water nicely!

The tank its going well, all the 13 shrimp alive but still not babies 
I hope they start breeding soon
The algae its covering the back glass, chaeto and enteromorpha, they grow on its own I didnt plant it
The Ruppia maritima its also growing very well

Yes, they breed like crazy and do a very good work in the substrate, I want to get some Melanoides granifera but they are rare to get here

Better not! The adults died in my tank!!! They can not withstand salt in the water all that well. I thought they would be ok with brakish water. Turns out they are not. Better get another species. Black ones like I got or nerite snails (but they do lay eggs).

Judging by how the Opae in the pic look it will take some time! You can see it when the eggs start to migrate from the back to the belly of the shrimp. I got my Opae for a bit less than a year now and spotted my first momma some days ago
You also seem to have a lot of males! I got mostly gals...
Tank & opae are looking great.
Just a word of caution. I see that the hair algae is starting to grow. From experience it can be a pain. Granted I pulled it out by hand all the time. If not it would start to get out of control. I ended up taking out some of the lava rocks that it was attached to. Did a partial water change as well. Slowly it's getting under control.
