I also was experimenting to see if the Alpha would eat a opae ula larva (see 1.03 mark) and after 24 hours the larva is still there. So this particular Alpha was not interested but I noticed it was staring at it for the longest time.
Ultimate goal is to video an Alpha larva.
I see the mom berried again. So just a data point that it was around 2 months from the last time she was berried.

Visited a few Anchialine pools in Hawaii. See pic of the salinity and temperature of this pool as I was curious to know.
More to come.

Yes, the ones I visited have opae ula. Here is a screenshot from a video.
Fyi, I dont take any opae ula from the pools.
Of course there are pools with no opae ula like this one near a hotel.

Super cool! Thanks for sharing. I was quite aware of temps rising quite high in the pools. But it's something different to see it like this
So cool to see them in the wild!

How close is that one to the beach? Looks like there's beach sand in that pool. What island are you on?
