Yep, same here. Even the ones i put in the frag tank are gone. Next time we will be better prepared. Finaly after many years there eggs have gotten to that stage, without the parents eating them. A specimen tank is in the works, with our upgrade.

I guess I should think about setting something up as well. Two days after the last clutch hatched, my Maroons are at it right now. The female's been laying for about half an hour and still going. Too bad it's mostly behind the rockwork so I can't yet see the results, but she's making pass after pass & the little male is scooting back & forth doing his thing.

First time I've actually observed a spawn, I can clearly see the female's tube as she finishes each pass.

I've recently raised about 160 little ocellaris clowns. They are now about 4 months old. The biggest problem I had with the whole process was getting the starter food down pat (phyto and rotifers). Once you figure that out you pretty much got it made. Like posted above get clownfishes by Joyce d. Wilkerson it explains everything you need to know.

Here is a pic of one in my 270 reef tank.

Dang, sorry we missed your post. Right on. Hope we can have just a good of an out come. We will hunt down the book, and give this a serious try.

Thanks everyone for the input.
