The other day I see my arrow crab standing on a rock looking like she is singing an opera tune, well I get my phone out and start taking video. She was absolutely full of zoea and started releasing them. It went on for about ten minutes. The first video is her releasing them and the second one is where I turned off the pumps so I could see the zoea.

I will upload these videos to YouTube and add links in this thread as soon as I can.
 
Question will they survive? Or do they become food and return pump food?
In my tank they were food and some got pulled into the pumps. I am not sure if any are gonna make it. Everything happened so fast and I did not know what to do to save them.
