He's at about 30 days so apparently past the first critical phase. Any suggestions for the second critical phase?

I have a customer who purchased a "berried" peppermint shrimp (carrying eggs on its swimming legs). Apparently several days after introduction into the aquarium, the eggs hatched. He has no micro-predators (just a pair of jawfish and a pair of maroon clowns) and is now reporting that the largest are coming on 5mm and starting to turn red. They are also starting to settle onto the substrate. The tank is fed DT's Premium Reef Blend and frozen Cyclop-Eeze every other day. There's no sump on the system. Otherwise the tank is a farily standard reef tank with MH/PC combo lighting, live rock, and soft and LPS corals. It's kind of ironic actually; he's hoping to keep a green mandarin but keeps waiting for the micro fauna population to grow. With the baby peps it doesn't appear that the other critters are populating quickly enough and he doesn't want to destroy the "nursery" full of shrimp anyway. I'm hoping that he will bring me a specimen or two to look at under the scope to be sure of the ID of the critters but the red coloration certainly leads me to believe that it is not an explosively-growing population of Mysis. Has anyone here raised these from eggs to adult?
