Coral food has become the subject of research! Is the bran shrimp going to turn over and become the master?

author:Sea elves play with sea tanks

In our sea tank, there is a creature that has always existed, but we never care, obviously a group of elves, but reduced to food we feed corals, guess what I am talking about, yes, that is bran shrimp.

Recently, this kind of small organism that has not been paid attention to has become a proposition for foreign researchers.

Coral food has become the subject of research! Is the bran shrimp going to turn over and become the master?

In the minds of most seawater players, the bran shrimp is usually the food of fish or corals in the tank, we did not think it was an important creature, and never even thought of taking the time to study them, but the idea of studying the bran shrimp was brought up by a staff member of an aquarium in Haus amürs in Vienna.

Although we don't know what brought these inconspicuous chaff shrimp to their attention, the record and classification of marine species is very meaningful.

The vast majority of furfur shrimp live in the ocean, a very small part is in fresh water, and the furfucker shrimp in the ocean is generally distributed in the surface, middle and bottom waters of the inshore and ocean.

Although it is the same species, but the living habits of the bran shrimp in different waters are not the same, they are mainly divided into planktonic life and benthic life, the benthic life of the bran shrimp will move vertically like a tigger at night, very cute.

Because the distribution of species is so widespread, we can even find a large number of furfucker shrimp in puddles or secluded places, so this also poses a big problem for researchers, that is, in the face of this unprecedented research object, researchers can not determine where these furfury shrimp come from.

The problem that has slowly emerged is more than this, such as why they are called bran shrimp, but many species are named after their place of origin.

While the study of the bran shrimp is the first, it is interesting to note that this is not the first time that heterocotia has been studied, and there has been a precedent for discovery in Japan's Wakayama Herbaceous Marine Park.

In our ocean, the coral reefs are diverse and diverse, and when the corals, rocks and invertebrates mined from different waters are transferred to human sea tanks or aquariums, we will find many unknown strange small creatures, although we cannot see them with the naked eye, but the diversity of natural species also makes us marvel.

If you are also willing to take the time to familiarize yourself with each genus and species of bran shrimp, Wenchang fish, copepods, Bristol worms, brittle stars, etc., you will definitely discover something new, and you will even become the discoverer of a new species.
