So it turns out my onyx clowns laid eggs recently!

In my 15 years in the hobby I’ve only had sexy shrimp and dwarf seahorses reproduce and only a couple of the dwarves made it to adulthood.

How do I go about doing the best for these guys? I understand it’s an uphill battle, and from my limited knowledge, I would have to

1) remove the eggs from the rock when they are silvery

2) get a culture of maybe rotifers started?

Wondering if you guys have any tips or knowhows and cheats from your experiences.

I’m guessing removing the eggs might be pretty impossible… and their survival in the tank would be near zero?
