The nauplii are phototropic.....

If you are using an inverted cone hatchery (conical bottom drain type) just shut off the bubbles, set a flashlight near the drain and wait a few minutes. The BBS will congregate near the light and you can just crack the valve and let them drain out.

Otherwise, if you are using something without a drain you will have to pick a spot, shine the light, and then siphon them out with some small tubing.
