Nice! What is your way of capturing the berried mom?
Why wouldn't the Opae Ula share his food? Because he was a little shellfish 
A dedicated forum and online store for the Opae ula shrimp!
I ask if you live the ocean is to actually use ocean water for the larvae. Maybe an aquarium store can supply you ocean water? Just a thought

If you have video, maybe upload to Youtube? You might be the first.

Have you tried feeding the larvae ‘green water’?

That's one way I thought you could raise the larvae. Do you know if anyone has tried it?

I thought I’d at least see some the next day or there abouts lol.They love to eat anything that moves. One time I did a test by dropping shrimp food pellets in the tank. No immediate reaction. I then dropped in live baby brine shrimp...immediate feeding frenzy

They can “teleport” real quick in the blink of a eye. Earlier I used to removed all my tank decor and used 2 small nets to catch the mama. But lately I realized that as the berried alpha gets more advance in the pregnancy, they like to hide in my coral rock that has crevasses. I now slowly lift that coral rock with them clinging on it into the breeding tank. Once I do so they swim out and it’s easier to catch them there and place them in the smaller breeder box

Just a thoughtYup, I have experimented with real seawater too as I have a seafood supplier friend who gets his water from the sea to keep his live prawns and lobsters. The larvae still die as quickly, so I really think they are starving. I have tried 1.010, 1.014, 1.018, 1.020, 1.026 and 1.030 salinity. . All die in about a week.
