Well Congratulations.................

Unfortuantely clownfish fry will only last about 1, maybe 2 days without feeding. Typically rotifers are the first feed although many have tested lots of other feeds this is pretty much the tried and true method of breeders.

Rotifers, easy but they do crash, setup 2 or 3 cultures, best is the breeding forum on RC, a couple of articles that can help you out. Or there are a few here who can show you the way, very simple.

Phyto - difficult in my mind, and the sources are financially resonable. Their are plenty of alternative, DT's, Tahitian Blend, plenty of fridgeable products that are more difficult to contaminate then culturing phyto.

The eggs need to be moved to their own hatching vessel, and then fed rotifers for about 5 days (depends on species).

Let me know if I can help.

PS If the tank is small you may experience an NH3 spike, its a little big for coral feed.
