Can clown eggs be removed?

Can I suction the eggs form the rock where they are attached, to put them in the nursery tank.
Or would this surely kill them all?

That will kill them all. The only way to move eggs is to move what they are on. If you want to move them, you will have to move the rock.
That is why I use ceramic tile for my clowns to lay eggs on. Easy to move and even replace with an identical one so that the clowns don't even realize their "nest" is gone.
 
I have tried that, but they are not interested.
Theis rock is huge. Not to mention I have muchrooms and stuff on it.
Thanks anyhow.
I am thinking of putting a 2 liter bottle over the m and trying to catch them that way.
I think they will hatch tonight, I can see two eyes per fish now.
