Have you been able to confirm that these are cirolanids? How have you been running the trap? When you pull them out can you test them for curling and is there variation in their eyes? Pic here looks more Spheromatid than cirolanid imo, but I'd be very interested in learning if these are really cirolanids. More pics for the community would help!I have caught Atleast 40 using the stinky water trap. There are about 10 threads to scan on these creatures but I’m not seeing people have much success or continue the thread after success. Tampa bay saltwater says they don’t breed in captivity and die out.
Any success stories???
I can get more tonight. They’re fast as hell and I’m catching more small ones now / maybe the size of fruit flies. I have not confirmed and I’m still fishless. I can get more photos and list them here after I catch more tonight. They do not have the mean looking eyes but do look like some of the other threads I’ve seen that post them attached to their tangs so I’m not 100%
Good to know! I don't think they are incapable of reproducing, as I've seen mine years after introducing the rocks, although am fairly certain mine are Spheromatid and the population is quite small.
