I just bought a cleaner Shrimp 5 mins ago and discovered that it has eggs under its belly. It is still in the plastic bag. What should I do?
Can I hatch the eggs into baby Cleaner Shrimps? How to do it?

Probably not. It's been done before but it takes a lot of setup and it's very time consuming.
Most likely your new shrimp will molt because of the stress from a new environment and the eggs will leave with the molt. Best case is that the larvae hatch and your fish/corals get a treat.
