do mollies count? 
Breading most saltwater egg layers is extremely difficult. The reason is that the newly hatched fry need darn near microscopic live food and plenty of it. clowns and others can eat rotifers but even baby brine shrimp are too big for the small fry.
there was a report of breeding flame angels but that was with some local (in hawaii) pod like stuff they cultured as food.
That is about all I have read on the subject. Bang has done an excellent job with his little nemo series.
Personally I have had fish spawn but no sucess in getting the larva to live more than a week or so. I also did not have rotifers or make a huge effort to be sucessful. Seems to be really really difficult.
