Hey congrats! The fuge sounds like the best spot for the little fella. Im sure others with more experience trying to raise fry will chine in, but perhaps artemia (baby brine shrimp)???? They are cheap and easy to hatch.

For a successful rearing, you need two things: small food and an urchin. Artemia will do for food although you'll need to gutload them. The best urchin to use is a long spine (diadema sp.). Or, if you don't want an urchin, you can use a surrogate (DIY urchin) made of a ball of epoxy putty with popsicle sticks or BBQ skewers stuck into it to simulate urchin spines. banggai larvae associate with urchins for protection

I do actually have an urchin in the fuge, not a diadema, but a hitch-hiker with spines about 1 1/2" long, and it's so funny that just after I read justinl 's post I checked on him and he was over beside the urchin. I'm off the the LFS to check what they have for me.
(I kinda want to take my big boy out and shake him till he spits the others out, but I know that's bad--lol). I know I'm not gonna get anything done today because I'll be going to check out the sump every five minutes to see if there's more. I love this hobby!
