Yea it's an awesome sight! Any left?
Yeah I gathered up most of them in a little breeder hang on basket.. I have only three fish.. A black yellow tailed blenny, purple firefish and a red firefish.. Which are already snacking on the ones I left behind..

Awesome. I hope some make it. It happened to me once and they all got eaten or filtered out. I couldn't figure out what was floating around when it happened lol

Here, there and sometimes everywhere.

Nice! I noticed last night about 20+ 1/8th" baby peppermints running around in the tank. Mine gave birth a month or two back. Thought they all were eaten, but I guess the key is no pumps at night with minimal light, lots of rocks for them to hide, and feed tank lightly every other night. Cant wait till they are too big to be lunch and start coming out in the open.
