Pom Pom Crab Spawning and Larvae: Pics

[woogiekids]

Hi all!
I've had a pair of Poms for about a month in my 28G carpet/maxi-mini biotope. The female has been carrying eggs, and the larvae were released into the water tonight. I pipetted some into a holding container, and put in some zooplankton/photoplankton, but I don't have high hopes for this batch. Anyone had any luck with raising any babies? I don't see any online anywhere.
Here are some pics:

Very cool! Good luck with the fry.

This seems to be the month for crab spawning. My hermit crabs spawned a week ago, but I didn't try to keep any.

BTW great photos!

Them's fighten words Brian! ;)-



Thanks! I wasn't quite prepared for this batch, so I don't know that any will survive. The only fish in the tank are a pair of clowns, however, so you never know. The next batch I'll get a little tank set up for, and some rotifers going.
