I think GSM are some of the most beautiful clowns and they were the first fish I ever raised  Good luck with them! 

Thank you, they are my favorite and are always the first fish people recognize in the tank!
This is my first attempt at breeding saltwater fish, I had several successful batches of Flowerhorns when I was into freshwater fish. So far everything is going well, the tank the fry are in are all hatched and the water is now green with rotifier. They are swimming around looking healthy and happy so far!

Here are the pictures of the one day old larvae.  There are about 30 of them total from this hatch.  Credit for the hatch goes to Cliff (General0) as they hatched at my house just after he arrived with them.  I will be trying to raise them from hatch through settlement to 60 days post-settlement.  Anyway, not great pics but you can tell its fish larvae.  (oh, this is now day 2 and they seem to be doing just fine).
