Thousands of Peppermint Shrimp babies again!

[roushracer]

My peppermint shrimp just spawned again! Seems to happen every few weeks. One will come up and start dancing on the liverock with hundreds or thousands of eggs all over her belly and she'll dance until they all hatch and there swimming all over the tank!

It's hard to get a pic of the babies, as they are super tiny but they look just like tiny clear versions of the parents!

Here's one of the parents wih the eggs just before the hatching.

Has anyone successfully reared shrimp larva? When I had pairs of cleaner shrimp they would mate all the time, I just figured it was added food for the tank.
