Clown eggs

[seasponge]

I have Joyce's Clownfish book and I have a question regarding the hatching of eggs. My clowns are on thier third clutch of eggs. They are very good parents but have yet to have any servive in the display tank (150-full of corals). As with the other clutches of eggs these are laid on the roock next to the carpet aneomie. If her book Joyce talks about moving the tile with the clutch of eggs into the hatchery. Have any of you tried and were successful at scraping the eggs off just before the hatch and placing them in the hatchery. Any suggestions? I already have tile cut for the next clutch just hoping that they will lay them on the tile.

From my understanding you don't scrape the eggs off the tile, you move the whole tile into the hatch out tank. You than put another tile back into the main tank at the same time.

todd is right... if you scrape them you risk popping the eggs and killing the larvae
