i heard a lot about the longer duration and settlement cues during cleaner shrimp larval rearing. can anybody tell me what will be the duration to reach a ready to settle stage. how a last stage larvae ( before settlement) look like? any special characters to look for?

In captivity, raising them to settlement takes around 5 months. Worked with them for so long but never found any settlement cues. They are just a species which produce giant larvae that need to reach 2cm before they molt into a shrimp. Even wild measurements of pre-settlement L. amboinensis larvae are around 2cm.

Always something more important than fish.
