Cleaner Shrimp clutching eggs
 

My Scarlet Skunk Cleaner shrimp is holding eggs. I have two of them and they have been in the tank for a few weeks.

I have two clowns (babies) and a diamond goby. I also have snails and hermit crabs.

Will these guys survive when they hatch or will they all just die?

The sort of bad news is they won't survive, the good news is that they will alternate having babies around every 10 days or so and your fish and other creatures will enjoy the live food.

They generally give birth within an hour of the lights being turned off. It is a very neat experience.

Why will they not survive??? i think my did a couple days ago, i looked in the tank, and in some of the rubble rock i saw little tiny things swimming around. they had little red lines on them, i can only imagine that they were baby cleaner shrimp, i have 2.
