So I noticed things floating around my tank and I took a closer look and it turns out my new pet fire shrimp was releasing larvae and I would like to know how to take care of them. I have 1 pistol shrimp and 1 fire shrimp and a few corals in the tank.

That's truly an involved process to rear and raise shrimp. Google is your friend. Good luck and congratulations.

Congradulations! Most if not all Lysmata spp shrimps are simultaneous hermaphrodites so you will only need two to keep producing offspring.
