Very nice clutch of eggs there! There's a clownfish breeding book (Joyce someone or other) that's supposed to be pretty good. The jist of it is start a rotifer culture and keep it happy. Then scoop the fish out when they hatch (usually just after lights out, but a flashlight will attract them so that you can scoop them out) and feed them rotifers for the first couple of weeks until they're able to wean onto something with a larger particle size.

Goood luck!

Day9 Last Post!!!
Most have hatched overnight. The parents are still guarding the remaining few that are left. The male is already showing mating behavior allready. Unfortunately, there are no sign of the fry as expected.
Thanks for all the neat comments and following this thread, it was cool to share with you guys.
