Hmmm...Brine Shrimp Direct sells something called "E-Z Egg" which is hatchable brine shrimp cysts minus the cysts part.

But if you're just looking for crap brine shrimp eggs (the unhatchable kind), it might be cheaper to just decapsulate them at home. You just do a thorough 100% bleaching, and then boom, instant crap brine shrimp eggs that most likely aren't going to hatch for you.

I’m just setting up my hatchery and looking for decapsulated crap eggs.

What kind of hatchery are you starting up? If you have trouble finding reliable decapsulated eggs, you can always decapsulate them yourself. Brine Shrimp Direct has instructions on this: https://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/a...uestions/what-decapsulated-brine-shrimp-eggs/. I used to do it when I worked at ORA. We would decapsulate 2 cans a week since we were feeding a lot of clownfish juveniles.

We offer brine shrimp cysts if that's the route you end up taking: https://reedmariculture.com/product_instant_zooplankton_artemia.php.

I’m just hatching brine shrimp to feed my reef. The decapsulated eggs save a bit of time, since you don’t have to separate the shrimp from the shells.
