My clowns have laid eggs in my reef.. Now what?

[synyster11]

What do I have to do to keep some alive? They are all dark orange with a white dot. I do not have any other fish other than a lawnmower and a normal cleanup crew. Will any of these little guys make it? Will my two parent sebae clowns eat them? Any tips would be great!!!

The first several days they need to be in a calm environment saturated with Rotifers.

Not an expert here but from what I read Bang is exactly right. They also need a few days to hatch. They are born in a larval state and probably will be either eaten or starve to death. Unless you have continuous supply of rotifers that is.

Hmmmm, I wonder where I can buy some rotifers. I do not have time to grow them since the eggs are already 1 day old. I was planning on using a syphon to get them once they hatch and put them into a small screened in area hanging off the side of the tank. This will keep them from being eaten but feeding sounds like it will be the problem. I have a 10g hospital that might work also.
