"Breeding Arrow Crabs in the aquarium is not generally successful. Larvae are free-swimming and hatch in about two weeks."

do they mean they hatch in 2wks and then are free swimming? Where could i find more info on invert live cycles. These would be an interesting critter to TR.

I would assume that means that when a female shows up with eggs, 14 days later the larvae will be released.

Where did the quote come from?

Much smaller, these guys at hatch are only a few mm if you stretch them out. Pretty diffcult larvae, megalopa are very strange, settlement % is very low.
