HELP.. Breeding Chalk Basslets.. now what?

I was just looking around the tank tonight with a flashlight.. and notices swarms of little teeny things with 2 eyes.. attracted to the light... the chalk bass that i have (2 of them) have been interacting like I thought a breeding pair would.. and I think they are the producers of these larvae...... BUT...

I've done freshwater breeding a long time ago.. what do I do with microscopic larvae in a 55 gallon reef tank? is there a way to get these larvae into another tank or something? what do I feed them, do I need to set up another tank? how does that happen ASAP?

anyone's help would be a great input

thanks

Bryan (the dad of a swarm of kids...lol)

no pics... i've been looking for them today with the lights on.. but see nothing.. i'll see if i can find them tonight again i guess... they were really attracted to the light last night... i noticed this a week or two ago one night.. but wasn't really sure what they were... not that i'm sure now either... maybe they're larvae of something else?

best pics I can get.. and a video too..

These things are TINY but i got some into a tester vial and then took pics... once i've done this.. they seem to be shaped somewhat like having a shrimp tail? dunno what they are larvae of, but wierd... they kinda move around like mosquito larvae.. but with some swimming, too...
