She just moved them to a different part of the tank, but they still exist, which is awesome.  Now to try and catch everyone else so they don't get eaten once they start moving!

No, debating doing it tonight and putting them in a fry tank that hangs off the side, but both parents were guarding them this morning.  Think I can use a turkey baster to pull them out?

A Turkey baster should work out pretty good.
