So far this morning it has been about 12 hours or so. I started posting when they started coming out, basically you guys experienced the journey. I think there are 16 this morning. Can't count for sure, but seems to be 16. Even taking pics hasn't helped me, there always seems to be a couple on the other side of the net when i snap the pic.

Very cool Downhill! I'm glad you decided to try and raise this batch. I'll have to come over and check them out!

Congrats on the babies! I raised some a while back. I was just blown away at what perfect replicas they are of adult banggais. I absolutely couldn't stop staring at them.
I highly recommend you start feeding live baby brine. Mine grew healthy and well on those. Sure, it's a major pain, but I think it's best for them. I raised mine in a 10g tank with live rock, and they did well.
Here's a pic of mine after a nice BBS meal:

Well, I only managed to save five from the main tank. The father released them over two nights, and I could only find those five
All of them made it to about 1/2", but one got bullied and jumped out. So, I ended up with four. I was glad I didn't lose any (other than the jumper).
