i have no plans for raising them, did some quick checking it seems like a lot of work

They need rotifers and baby brine shrimp very frequently and they have already hatched.

 

[nyfynest22]

so when you see the eggs you put them in a seperate tank? and when they hatch you feed them?>

 

[Reeftanker3295]

I believe that's what people do.

i looked at them thru a magnifying glass they are still connected to the rock

Very cool. They should hatch after day 7 or 8, usually 1 hour after lights out. You'll find a new clutch every 12-14 days...

Planning on keeping them?
If so, try to DIY a suction tube with PVC that will suck them up when hatched at dark. Use a small light source such as a toy led at proximity of the vaccum area.
