baby marroon clowns

[imdaring]

was looking down in my sump the part that I have my algae scrubber running and I have a LG filter sponge in the bottom for my pods and noticed I have a bunch of baby Maroon clowns that are just hatched maybe 24 hours or so VERY small... didn't even know they had lay'd eggs :scratchch they must of had them hidden well...so now what do I need to do just let then grow down there, what should I be feeding the tank?

here's a small article on feeding. From what I've read, they should be in a tank by themselves with a sponge filter.

baby clowns only eat live rotifers for about the first week, when first born they need to be in a tank around one gallon or so, so they can find food you need a high density of rotifers for the fish there is a great book on breeding clowns by joyce wilkerson called Clownfish but here is a link to get you going http://www.marshreef.com/files/raising_clownfish.doc

I think they are tough to keep it you don't have the right set-up. Good luck with them!

Yeah they won't survive without special food and shelter. They will turn into fish food.
