    I have a peppermint shimp that released it's eggs sometime........not exactly sure when, but my real question is, if she does get eggs again how difficult are they to catch and raise?

    Unfortunately, darn-near impossible. They have to be reared in a special tank called a kriesel and they are very expensive.

    Look at it this way, your corals are getting a free meal.
