Hi there, this is the first time I came across the word opae ula. Mainly because I don't think the species is common here in Singapore. Upon further googling, I found out that it's also known as the Hawaiian red shrimp, which is a tiny looking shrimp which looks like the red cherry shrimpSince the eggs are going through the larval stages, the only concern would be on predators or fishes to pick on the larvae. But since there's no fishes in your fuge, it should be alright. Same goes if you feed those opae ula well in your fuge (I reckon they would feed on their own larvae unless there's really no food
)
My previous camel shrimp pair in my tank have produced hundreds of tiny shrimplets for me a couple of times, but all of them were gone in a matter of hours (picked by my other fishes). My advice would be to keep your shrimps isolated from any predators, keep them well-fed, and let nature take its courseBut you'd probably need to get some micros for your shrimplets to feed on though

I guess like you said, if it's green then it's not fertilized. Since you have many of them in your tank, why don't you try to spot a mated pair and leave them be, instead of separating them in your display tank and fuge.
