My emerald crabs (Mr. Greenie and Mrs. Greenie) were caught on film doing the nasty (I think). Anybody know if they young will survive?

I also caught my emerald crabs getting nasty, once on friday and again last night. After they separated, the female started slowly releasing the larvae. I was able to get her into a bucket and capture what I could of the little guys (maybe about 50). I am in search of information about the needs of them as they develop. I had read somewhere (someone posted) that they have special needs at each stage of their life, but I have been unable to find any information about this. SO, if anyone has any information that would help then please share. I would like to at least bring a couple of these guys through the growth stage.

Thanks
Mark
