My clown fish have just become a matted pair, and have just laid a little over 20 some eggs.
To ensure that the eggs have a good chance of hatching, what do I need to do
.
Should I remove my snails, hermit crabs, starfish, coral banded shrimp, and anenomi. or should I somehow transport the eggs into a small hang on tank with the parents.
What are my best options :help:

Well , don`t worry about the first batch of eggs . You need to grow rotifier and plankton cultures to feed the fry . Also it takes the new parents a few tries to get everything right . 20 eggs is a very low number , sure they are eggs ? Usually there is 100-500 eggs and with the fish new to this and you new to this the succes rate is low . Do you have the following books , Clownfishes -by Joyce Wilkerson , Plankton Culture Manual- by Hoff & Snell , Conditioning , Spawning , and Rearing of fish with Emphasis on Marine Clownfish - by Frank Hoff ?
If not I suggest getting them . Have great info , tips , and how to get the supplies and cultures needed .

It should be fine, I would just leave it alone and it should find a spot and attach on its own. Thats what mine have done
