sorry, it doesn't work that way. If they are clownfish larvae they will not survive. Clownfish larvae are attracted to light, so after hatching they swim upwards toward the surface where they will spend the first few weeks of their life. They do this to feed in the plankton rich surface water on the reef. Only after metamorphasis will they return to the reef and seek out any shelter among the rocks. By this time they look just like their parents only tiny. From my experience, clownfish larvae will not eat crushed flake no matter how small until around day 7 or 8. They just don't recognize it as food. If you want to raise any, you have to do it in their own tank.
