I have my trio in my main tank still. I do not have them in a brood stock system. The last two batches have hatched during daylight hours, or just disappeared.  I had a problem with the little white stars, but have really cleared them out. Also I have a bristle worm issue, but I'm clearing them out as I see them.   What would be causing the eggs just to fall off during the day cycle? I feed plenty. I use Rods, cyclopese and mysis. I don't have the shelf up where I want it to move them into another tank yet.   I;ve never had this issue till the last two batches. They have been laying eggs for over a year now and nothing has changed.   Thanks for any help. RLTW 180 Gallon Mixed Reef Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?

I know it is a pain but is there a chance that you can remove the eggs after they are laid and place them in a larval tank and observe them to see if they are fertile. It's possible that the male is not fertilizing the eggs and so the parents are removing them.   Chad Penney - MBI Council Agis quod Adis   #2 rgrking Total Posts : 712 Scores: 22 Reward points : 446 Joined: 4/8/2011 Location: Sullivan, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Clown Eggs Monday, June 27, 2011 9:39 AM (permalink) 0 Well as of right now they are laying on a 20# rock that's on the bottom structure. The only reason I won't move it is because the nem is attached to it. I tried placing a tile in there and nothing liked it.

Tal made up one that was in one of his threads. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Do you start to feed them in there too? How long after hatching do you put them in the other tank? RLTW 180 Gallon Mixed Reef Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?

Alternatively,you can sit the tumbler in the larval tank,cutting it shorter than the tank´s height.Better WQ and the hatched larvae escape to the rearing tank ;-)   #14 rgrking Total Posts : 712 Scores: 22 Reward points : 446 Joined: 4/8/2011 Location: Sullivan, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Clown Eggs Wednesday, June 29, 2011 2:13 PM (permalink) 0 ok.
