larvae from where?

[samurai9]

While shining a flashlight in my tank at night, I saw in the bottom front corner what looks like hundreds of baby fish. I can make out the eyes, and while most of them are huddling in a corner some are swimming around freely. They certainly look a lot more complex than plankton! I saw the same thing a few nights ago. I never see them during the day. THe weird thing is, I have no idea what's producing them. I have no fish pairs.
Inhabibants:
One percula clown
One Kole Tang
One Hawaiaan Feather Duster
One green brittle star
Yellow Polyps
Green Star Polyps
Lots of mushrooms
Astrea Snails
Blue legged and scarlet hermits, very few left

The only possibilities I can see is snail or hermit offspring, though I have absolutely no idea what either look like.

I also have a dsb with lots of small worms. Any ideas?

If they seem to cruise straight for a short distance, make an abrupt turn, and circle back again in a fairly regular pattern, and are roughly 1/2" long or less, they are likely mysid shrimp. You can find them in the Hitchhiker's FAQ.

If you see pairs of eyes crusing around, you are seeing Mysis Shrimps.

If they move in a jerk-stop-jerk swimming manner, then you're probably talking hermit fry. Good food for the rest of the tank.
