I've tried with no success a few times. From what I've read and have seen.
They are real fragile. They need the S strain Rotifers, When the eggs turn tan and blend into the cleaners body, and you shine a light and see the sliver shine of their eyes they are ready to hatch. Did I say they are fragile. LOL Good luck, Let us all know how you do if you tray and raise them.

Cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) are difficult.
Developing a daily routine of harvesting artemia,water changes etc is key.
The first issue is collecting the larvae. This can be done by
moving the shrimp to another tank
or using a larval catch system like this.

Moving the shrimp can be difficult.
This article is available on line and is helpful. I believe you can use Baby brine shrimp as
a first food.

I have had cleaner shrimp hatch the same night as my clown eggs, caught and moved them into my rotifer/clown fry tank. They lasted quite awhile on rots. and then I think the clown fry finish them off. Never tried to take them any further than the couple of weeks they survived that way.
