I have 5 sexy shrimp in my 40 breeder reef. Four females and one male. The females seem to always have eggs so I decided to try to capture the larva. However, I have never been able to actually see them release the larva. I bought a Vossen Larva Trap and tonight I believe I captured some Larva! However, they are extremely small and part of me thinks it may just be pods. Here is a picture. Can anyone that has raised sexy shrimp confirm if these look like larva of the shrimp?

Probably not sexy shrimps.

I've had them spawn before and they are red and float to the top
 
You are correct. However, last night they actually did hatch. I was able to collect a bunch of larva. Here are the pictures. I’m attempting to raise them in this glass vase.
