Baby clowns?!

Looking into our tank today, and in the crevices of a piece of live rock with a lot of large open areas, Tammy has noticed several creatures swimming around at night.

Today, I took a flash light and looked in there, and there is definitely a school of babies.

They are swimming and are quick. A little larger than the largest amphipods I have seen. We have a pair of clowns always hanging in that corner and they have mated, but we never thought they spawned. We never saw eggs.

We also have a pair of skunk shrimp that hang in that vicinity. They both had eggs recently.

What hatched? And is there a chance of them surviving if they have good cover?
 
Chances are slim that they are clowns. You would have noticed spawning behavior with the clowns and the larvae really aren't strong enough to control where they are going. My guess is that they are live mysis shrimp.
 
I believe they are mysids shrimp upon further looking. They are fast and small so hard to tell.

Good thing I suppose. Right?
