My experience with air on eggs is that they do alright if the bubbles touch the eggs and keep right on going, as when the eggs are fixed to a vertical surface. If the eggs are on the horizontal and the air bubbles squish the egg against the surface, the larvae don't do well, seem deformed or "bent".
If you have a good air orientation, AND all the eggs hatch the evening you pull the nest, that is the best scenario. If the eggs are pulled early, you need some fungus protection. Methylene blue, enough to tint the water darkly, or hydrogen peroxide as a dip for 30 seconds(I can't remember the concentration, you will have to look it up.) has worked for me in the past.
Recently, I forgot about a large nest that I wanted to hatch. The evening before I had set up a tank and hatched out two other nests OK. But I didn't have a tank to put the new nest in, and hatching seemed imminent. The eggs were on a large clay pot. I got the pot, replacing it with a clean one for the parental fish, and gave it a 30 second peroxide dip and cleaned off the big gunk. Then I put it into a bucket with a heater and an airstone and saltwater that had recently been bleached and dechlorinated. Airbubbles hit near to the eggs without hitting the eggs with the pot's side in a slanted, near vertical position. Lots of larvae hatched and I got them into the previous days hatch's tank. I replaced the pot in the bucket, added new clean water, and waited for the next evening. Again, lots of larvae hatched , they were removed to the same laval rearing tank, but there were still some good looking eggs on the pot. Back in the bucket it went, and by morning, I had a dozen or so more clownfish larvae. the few eggs left were clouded over with fungus.
I've been having a lot of mixed results with egg quality and larval robustness lately, but this larval run is going rather well, with few deaths and lot s of plump larvae. I think it was a change in broodstock diet that has helped me more than anything.
