I'm good, but if Rachel only had one get past larval and it was luck then I don't think I need to try!!! I did breed clownfish for a while and had a fair amount of success with getting them to settle out, but they were WAY more of a pain than I want to deal with right now.Heck, if you COULD find a way to get micro crabs to breed readily in captivity you'd be a hero to some. I think Rachel (msjinxd) had a baby pop up randomly but not sure how it turned out and not sure if she even knows how it happened in the first place. Most never seem to get past the larval stage.
Though if you want quick BAP it's probably not the best way to do so...
The biggest factor with most that go through a larval stage is the length of time from hatching to settling out, with clowns it is less than 2 weeks. Some fish and inverts go through multiple stages of larval development and may need specific triggers to develop or settle.I don't think any crabs fresh or salt, keeping the larval alive through all the stages would be much more of a pain then keeping clown fry alive i think. I have a Porcelain crab thats been with eggs several times but never even seen any of larvals.
