My Harlequin laid the eggs, and they hatched a day later. Siphoned some into a small container, but after 5 days all the shrimp died. I dont really know how to rear them, but would love some info if anyone has any. I tried putting asterina starfish in with them, but the shrimp seemed to small to even start to feed on them. What should i try as a first, second foods? When will they start to feed on starfish? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
The female lays eggs about every month, so for now, i guess ill go with trial and error.

I believe Syd Kraul has reared them. He has a website and you can email him.

From what I recall, these shrimp don't feed on the tube feet of echinoderms until the settle out. Artemia naups would be the first food.
