Default Hermit Crab just spewed out millions of babies!!

Okay, maybe not millions but what do I do?? I sucked a bunch out so they didn't all become fish food, but I am clueless as to what to do now. Anybody know??

Here is the three step process...

1. Take Pictures.
2. Post Pictures.
3. Wait for someone smarter than me to answer the question while i look at pictures provided from above steps.

They were so itty bitty I didn't get any pictures. There was a second batch two nights after the first one. Unfortunately they all died. I'm not sure I'm going to try to save them if it happens again.

i'm not sure but I would say you might want to feed them phytoplankton, or rotifiers, or maybe even brine like you would feed fry. Maybe even some type of micro algea.

But these are just my hypothesis
