Hi there, I have an established 240g cube (48x48x24) with several tangs, bangaii cardinal and 2 Anthias.

Is there anything I can do to save the eggs and make them hatch? the rock where they where laid is too big and has a large RBTA attached and it would be very dificult to transfer the rock...

Could I just suck them with a hose and transfer the eggs to a container with air and a heater? THX

My clowns are spawning as well and I get a new batch of eggs every 2 weeks. Here is a very useful site.

basically your best option is to figure out what night they are going to hatch and vacuum the babies out once they have hatched. It explains the procedure in more detail on that site.
