I have 2 clowns, 3 firefish, a kole tang, powder brown and fox face in my 120g.

Tonight after the lights went out I was looking in the tank with the light from my phone and I noticed dozens of small swimming..things. They are the shape of the firefish, whitish, some orangish.. Too big to be copepods I should think, also free swimming and not stuck on the glass. I'm sure some copepods are this size but seems more likely that it is a spawning phenomenon.

Could this be fish spawn? Would they hide during the daylight? If they are in fact spawn, could I capture and raise them?

Thanks!
