Damsels are difficult to raise,while Chromis and Dascyllus hatch very small and are the most difficult within the family.

This is a very difficult group to rear. There are many reports of spawnings all over the net though.

Probably wild plankton, ask spawner yourself im sure he will fill you in, He is currently a little preoccupied with queen trigger larvae though.

Wild? He's a copepod guru though and has the ability to culture many difficult species.

Not to mention IMO Luis probably has s bit more experience since he's brought at least one damsel (not a chromis I know) to maturity.
