Do they hold the eggs until they hatch or do they lay them out ?
The female generally carries the clutch for about 20 days provided that fertilization occurred. if not, it gets shedded little by little or at least at molting

Yes it looks like it, she carries eggs around for about 14 days and then typically releases thousands of larvae into the water column about an hour after the lights go out.
