Yes, they normally arrive in peoples tank with the initial batch of live rock, they can survive a break in period with unseeded live rock!

Did we ever determine what species Squishie is? Oops, just looked at your past posts and you said she was a briareus.

I put briareus hatchlings in a mature tank and one did grow up to the age of over four months. It was just eating amphipods and other things in the tank, and eventually hermit crabs and small snails. If there you have friends that have a safe tank for hatchlings, you might want to be ready to offer them some. As soon as they hatch, the little ones will hide in your tank.

My kids and I go down about every 30 minutes or so to see if any hatched yet.My wife just sits and laughs at us every time we get up.I estimate about half of them have flipped in the eggs.Does anyone know about how long it could be after they have flipped?
