pajama cardinal fry

[redvicki]

I decided that the second fish addition to my first reef tank should be 3 pajama cardinals. I bought them 9 days ago and put them in my quarantine tank. Everything is going well with them, until last night. I noticed one of them was hiding and seemed to be holding it's mouth open. Once I got a closer look his mouth had something red in it. After reserching my problem I've decided he is holding a brood. What should I do with the fry? I know my odds are not very good but still I would like to try and save as many as possible. Should I isolate them in the quarantine tank? What should I feed them. Any advice would be appricated.

Is he still holding the fry or did he swallow them or spit them out?

They are gone. I am guessing he swallowed them.
