Saving clownfish eggs

Hello,
My clarki's have been laying eggs every few weeks, they seem to do well and change from bright orange to dark with golden eyes. Then they disappear. My guess is that they hatch late at night and are eaten by the parents and other tank mates. I do not have a rotiffers culture running so I probably am not ready to raise them.
My wife has asked if I can do anything and I have told her no. Anybody have any other ideas or suggestions?
 
Anyone in your local reef club want to take a hand at raising them?
You could get the parents to lay them on a tile or something easily removable and transfer them to someone else.
 
Like Sarah said, if you really plan on trying to raise them, the easiest thing to do is to get them to lay on a tile. Just place it over the spot they are using now.

Would have to remove it to a rearing tank before they hatch, with enough light current to keep the eggs "clean".
 
Need the whole show to save them. Green water culture and rotifer culture and hatching tank. The tile works great. It's not very expensive to do but labor intensive. Good Book is Wilkerson"Clownfish".
