I see baby opae from time to time. I have no idea what happens to them. They only stay around for a few days then disappear. Not sure it they died or survived. I've seen only a few that look like they made it through to young juveniles. I do see berried females throughout the tank.

Just give it some time. The babies are really good at hiding. You'll see them when they get a bit bigger.
