I would catch my male approx. a week before the babies were due to be spit out. I would catch him at night and place him in his own tank with an epoxy urchin and a few pieces of live rock. After he spit out the babies I would immediately remove him from the nursery tank.

I have a separate 20 gallon tank attached to each main tank for the babies.
I think I am going to try to split it in half with egg crate - put the males in the one side and on the other side some fake plants for the babies to hide and feel comfortable in.
once the males spit them out I will put them back into the main tank.
thanks btw for the input.
if this doesn't work, I am going to try hatching them myself.

just thought I would give an update
I did the 20 gallon separated with egg crate
have 1 mouthful of eggs waiting to hatch and another who just spit out over 20 baby banghai's swimming around the tank
seems like the tank transfer with males with the mouthful seems to be working
thanks for the advice.
thanks
Neal
