Here is a good little read, but I have a friend who has successfully hatched a number of clowns and currently has a dozen that are about 1/2". Seems like somewhat of a pain but I would start a rotifer culture asap or plan to buy live ones. And you will need a separate tank that you move the eggs to just before hatching.

Yeah definitely so far the closest person I trade corals with are in Puyallup/Sumner area. Always down to meet more reefers in the local area. I actually live and work up at Crystal Mountain.... Probably the highest elevation tank in most of the PNW! 4500 feet good to meet ya.
