Hatch issues?

I'm having issues with hatching clownfish eggs. This is happening with both my ocellaris, and tomato eggs. They are laid on a pvc segment or tile. I pull them 10 days after spawning and keep them in a BRT @ 82 degrees F with an airstone blowing over the eggs, but they always fail to hatch. There are usually two larva the next morning and the remainnig eggs turn white and fall off over the next few days. This has happened with multiple clutches from 3 different pairs. I have a significant amount of air blowing over them, so I doubt that is the problem. I saw this growing on my clutch of eggs today, is this some kind of fungus?  Any ideas as to what is causing this? Would something like a methylene blue dip help prevent this?
