In a main reef tank with other predators, filters, and powerheads, the fry have no chance. If you remove the eggs, it is possible to raise the fry to adults.

Good pics Sam.

Steve, mine spawn regular and as Sam said none ever even make it to day one. We tried a batch once by removing it and they hatched and were doing fine until the dog unplugged their little tank.

Great photos! That's a small batch (was it their first?). My Maroons lay a batch that is probably 5x that quantity every 14 days or so. They are relentless.

Sometimes my clowns have 2 batches going at once...at least it gives them something to do besides trying to find new ways to attack me

Maroons lay more eggs than perks. Great photos too cool.
