I think Coral banded shrimp just gave birth?

I have a mated pair of coral banded shrimp. I just bought them a couple of days ago at the LFS. When I bought them, the lady said it appeared they had eggs on the one. Well while I was watching them a few moments ago one walked out and its legs starting kicking real quick and a whole bunch of what I assume are little shrimp came flying out, the little ones are swimming around, but are very very small. My question is should I leave the filter off of a little while so they don't get sucked in, and if so how long a couple of min, a couple of hours? I am running a six gallon truvu cube. I have one clown, some mushroom and some zoos and the 2 shrimp. Thanks
 
Unless you have the appropriate foods/environment you can assume they're food for your tank. it's possible to raise shrimp larva but not in a typical reef tank.
