Raising Fry in Refugium????

[ISMANU]

So my clowns mate pretty regularly since the first time I noticed and yet I have been unable to get the timing down and catch the fry when they hatch:headwalls:. Today while I was doing some maintenance I discovered fry in my refugium so can I leave them there and feed them there then catch them when they are bigger. I think i am gonna leave them there cause I don't want to tear the fuge apart to get then so I guess the real question is, Has anyone done this any ill effects?

Clowns needs lots of rotifers. Chances are, even if you stock your fuge with them, they will just get washed into your display.

Hard to get pictures the glass is 75% covered with Coraline algae and they move fast but the are about 1/4" in length look like a swimming skeleton with a belly:idea:. they are either clown fry or scarlet shrimp fry both are actively reproducing:fish1:.
