When I hatch brine I keep the water temp. about 80 and they hatch in about 18 hrs. Turn off the bubbler and point a light to the bottom of the container and if they have hatched, there will be a little pink blob at the source of light, that is your baby brine.

Turn off the pump for about 5 mins. Get a magnifying glass and take a peek. Those little suckers are tiny and should be wiggling like crazy

Yep ... sure are small little suckers

They are too small for my fish to eat, BTW.

Ernie, watch them closely. My clown and gramma eat them. You just don't notice it as much as something big. The corals also eat them. I hatch a new batch almost every night.

so do u guys just pour them into the tank even if theyre really tiny? the ones im hatching also still look like just eggs.. but i guess if fish and coral will eat them i could throw em in

Once they are swimming around I just suck them out with a turkey baster and target a different coral each time...
