Fry survival in fuge?

[Slombardi]

My clowns lay eggs literally every other week. I never do anything and assume they all just get eaten. BUT today in my fuge I spotted this guy. Could it be a baby clown? Will he survive?

Oh man if I name him my wife is going to want to keep him alive. Ill need to grow rotifers and brine shrimp. Then get another tank... Actually, maybe not a bad idea!

Could be that miracle baby and solve all of our reefing issues.

That is really neat. Try powdering some flake and see if it tries to eat it. Maybe frozen daphnia?

In this guide, day 7 is weaning diet time for clowns... is it possible it made it seven to nine days? If so, you may not have to try live foods to get it eating.

I love that book so much
I'm gonna recommend powdered tdo or maybe decap hatchable brine

Based on this picture I feel like they are only a couple days old. I periodically hatch brine shrimp and throw them in my tanks so I started a batch that will be ready in a day or two. When the fuge light is back on tomorrow I am going to go on a search for him and see if he is still alive.

That is a far better picture than what is in the book, to gauge size/pigmentation.
Cool.

I do too, not all the secrets are revealed... but lots of fodder to get you going. It is a big undertaking (commercial scale, or home hobbyist with lots of space.

Yeah I learned that quick last year and fell out of it quick. Maybe when I'm not renting

FYI, I have found live rotifers in brine shrimps hatching water. Keep your eyes out for moving white dots in brine shrimp hatching water. I guess the cysts are harvested along with brine shrimps cysts/eggs. Just in case you need live rotifers...
