I would be more than shocked to see an average reefer do it successfully. AND then have them transplant and live.
Good luck either way.
Bump.

You just have to wait until the evening they are due to hatch. Cut a straw to a 60 degree angle, then cut the very tip off so there is a little flat part. Turn the pumps in the tank off. Next, while in the air put your finger over the uncut end and go down to the eggs (finger keeps air in the straw). Use the cut tip at the base of each egg where it meets the rock as soon as the egg lets go (it's not that difficult when the eggs are older) take your finger off the end for a second to suck up the egg. Transfer to larvae tank. Most of them will hatch during the transfer or shortly after if you do it at the right time. Takes
forever, but works well. I haven't raised clownfish in years, but I used to do this all the time with 95-100% success.
