This is the second time this has happened although the first time I know that it was a pregnant gorilla crab that dropped the bomb.

Way Cool!

to small to identify yet...how long are they?

could be pep shrimp, but doubt it as they require free swimming planktonic foods to get in the larval stage...but I think some kind of shrimp.

You should be a proud pappy as getting marine larval hatch to that stage of growth ...Is Not Easy!
