I'm sure they're not all stolen from the ocean, and we haven't been passing around the same inverts through out the aquarium trade for the past 30 years...
So yes I'm sure someone does, and if there isn't I think I found my calling in this hobby...

None of those listed are raised anywhere other than laboratories. Just recently, you can find some captive bred Peppermint Shrimp from at least one supplier, but that's about it for CB inverts. The trouble is that these inverts have a long pelagic larval stage, and are difficult to raise. Peppermint shrimp are a bit easier, albeit definitely not "easy".

Thanks, well guess you guys are right time to start researching breading, now the question is which species first.... I think emeralds as they are what I got in to the hobby for.... unless you think there's, a more profitable, species to go after...thoughts

if its profit your after theres your answer right there....set up a labratory if you want to do it as a hobby it will cost alot and i mean alot, if you want to be successful, and then to make a profit...thats gonna be even tougher. what do you plan to feed the fry?? what set up do you plan to use?? whats your experience in marine breeding?? seems like alot of work for a $30 shrimp or $20 crab unless you have the facilities and resources to do it and the money to back it all up  good luck either way:P

Well I have no experience in any breading in saltwater, as I'm just getting in to it.
But I've been playing around with breading cherry red shrimp in fresh water for about a year and at one point I had over 200. Like I said some research is needed, gestation cycles and conditions, but now's the time to go round to the pet stores and figure out what's worth my time if all goes well... then once I have a species focus research on that
