Gold Stripe Maroons Spawned

[saltyfishlvr]

My Maroon Clown pair finally spawned where we could see the eggs. I have had this pair for 4 years, in a 90 gallon setup (bought used). I knew they spawned but never where we could see it. They were moved into a 120 gallon reef tank 10 days ago (brand new, woo hoo). Seeing the eggs, makes me what to try and raise some baby maroons. After reading up, I know it won't be with this spawn, but maybe a future one if they stay with this rock, and the BTA moves off of it. Also did a video with my iphone

I am giving it some serious thought. Other than a live food source, I have everything I need to to set up a fry tank. The BTA is footed on the rock and I won't attempt to take it off. Otherwise, I could easily take the rock out and hatch the fry in another tank. I am going to set up a tank, and if I can catch them when they hatch it would be fun to try and raise them. I love the Gold Stripe Maroon, and mine have been on the less aggressive side when it comes to other tank mates. I've been reading as much as I can find on raising clown fry
