Clownfish eating larvae?

[fishman1414]

Day 8 last night and around 40-50 eggs hatched. I left the eggs to hatch in the parents' tank as I am only a beginner and transferring the eggs from the aquarium wall to a separate tank seemed daunting. Parents tank has only the 2 clowns and the eggs. When I woke up, there were only 2 larvae swimming. No sign of the others. Is it possible the parents ate the larvae??

Yes, the parents will eat the larvae.

How do you get the eggs off the aquarium wall (I will give them a removable option next time but just in case) without damaging them to move into a separate tank?

The eggs are stuck to the glass, it is just the way a CF will spawn. They do make larvae catchers or you can wait with a small light on hatch night. Try putting a piece of slate where they are spawning.
