Really, I talked to this teacher at my school, who is a Marine Biologist/15 Year Reefer, who said that it is a planktonic form. Maybe my teacher is wrong...Or maybe it was the way i digested the information.
Maybe he ment the fry feed on planktonic foods. Which would explain why the fellow you know was not able to keep them any longer than two weeks, because planktonic food is not readily available in a closed system. They very well might have starved.
Never the less, breeding them in my tank is unlikely, with carnivorous corals and fishes that would mistake it for a small shrimp.
