If you have more than one cleaner, the egg will hatch to small shrimp, once they hatched, all small shrimp will become a good meal to all your fishes and coral, I think is very very difficult to raise the small shrimp up.

My cleaner usually release their baby when the light is off, you will know if you see all your fish suddenly go crazy in the tank, having a good shrimp meal :P:P

the pregnant shrimp normally releases the larvae at dusk... u can make a hatchery out of the btetta /guppy hatchery box but have to seal the silts with fine net so that the larvae don escape . den u can feed them new hactched bbs as the larvae is capable of catching it. u can transfer the pregnant one when u observe eyes on the eggs.
