Thanks Rex113, now I know the name of this plant.
Maiden's Hair Plant

Wow I see a few berried females roaming around. Nice algae growth you have going. I rarely see mine. When I used to feed spirulina all the opae would come out and I could see the berried ones. Since I don't feed anymore I don't see them since they seem to be in the lava rocks.

My berried shrimp tend to sit around the heater, it does cast a nice shadow for them to hide in and its warm. Great videos @opae ula related .

That video was late last yr. The algae on the rock is now gone since I poured boiling water in it to get rid of BBA. That maiden’s hair was the original ones in the video but I threw those out because BBA got mixed into it. Maybe The tank doesn’t have enough hiding spots but never noticed berried ones hide.

The video of lazy post larvae shows the algae on the rock all gone :(
If you notice the rock has white areas due to hydrogen peroxide cleaning of the rock.

I didnt get berried female till adding seashells right from a Maui beach.... apparently the calcium is what makes the difference. My youtube has a drawing for a cup of Maui Seashells to some lucky new subscriber youtube channel is maui feather lei

Hi maui opae ula! I didnt know you were in this forum? How long you had your lohena?

Welcome to the forum @maui opae ula

Doesn’t happen often but found a dead berried one.

RIP Shrimpy

It happens. You never know why. Just don't overthink what the cause may be and jump to conclusions on what to do. You never know the age. Overall I myself have only seen a handful of deaths.
