Default What to feed cinnamon clown fry

Hello all,
I just found that my clowns successfully bred and hatched a clutch without my knowledge! They have been in their own tank for a month and there are quite a number of fry now inhabiting a rubble pile. So far, they seem healthy. i was just wondering what, if anything, should be added to supplement their diet?
I would estimate they are 3-5 days old now.

Should I target feed, or is it better to remove them to a separate tank?

better to move them as there are a lot of opportunistic predators in an aquarium

Are you trying to net them? You could try syphoning them with a nice size piece of clear vinyl hose.

Well, so much for moving them....BUT, they all seem to be doing very well. As I had mentioned, these clowns are alone in this tanks, save for some turbos, a sand sifting star, and a few bristle worms. More fry have hatched from another clutch of eggs and seem to be fine too! I will keep you posted on what develops! Thank you for your suggestions!
