fry hatching with lights on

My clowns are going to hatch tonight so I was looking at the clutch and noticed half were gone. I thought they might be getting eaten. I figured I better get them out now so I put the pot in my fry tank and started to set everything up. I looked down in the tank and noticed 5-6 fry swimming around. All the lights were on the whole time. So I shut the lights off and will see what happens in a couple hours. Has anyone had eggs hatch with the lights on?
 
Sometimes when they are close to hatching a disturbance like moving nest will trigger some to hatch, despite the photoperiod.
