Updates on day 3 and 4.
On day 3, the female moved a lot of sand. The piece of driftwood that she had the eggs on ended up leaning on the glass. I now had access to film from the other side of the tank:

You can see how much sand she moved, there is a crater there:

On day 4, they hatched. She moved them to a little pit in the driftwood. I am not sure why, I thought she was going to use the nest she dug in the sand. This one in the driftwood is smaller so they are crammed. If you watch the vid, bump the resolution, it will show better:

In this last vid, they are wiggling by themselves, there is no current at that point in the tank.
cheers,
wm_crash, the friendly hooligan
