If you have a pair then they should hatch just fine.  If you want to raise them, good luck as it takes a bit of effort from what I understand (never raised them myself only read about it).

The short answer: there is no hope.  Great coral food though.
 
The long answer: Google raising ornamental shrimp larvae

Mine hatch regularly and I get some to live about 3 weeks and then they die off. I have read that it is extremely difficult to raise them :(.

They are hard to raise. Peppermint and ghost shrimp are easy peasy, and incredibly yummy, so I hear...

Peppermint/Cleaner Shrimp lay eggs and then carry them around on their pleopods. Then when they hatch they are waved into the water column as Zoeae (larvae).
