So got a question about a prego in a tank. How would I keep the babies alive? Had the LFS tell me can't be done basically. So was wondering if any of you know a solution. Got a 90 I need some for

If the eggs are indeed fertilized, it would be VERY difficult to broad. When the eggs are released, or hatched, they will become food for the tank. My peps have eggs all the time and I see when they release them. My corals are very happy the next day

Your LFS was right. They spend weeks or more in a larval stage, which would take a lot of time, skill, and equipment to raise. There is not an economical solution for the home squarest currently (I may be wrong but I don't think anyone is breeding commercially either).

Ok it was a my buddies tank. He went out and bought separate tank and whatnot to try. Just wanted to get more than the lfs. I read a few articles to him about the 0% chance of success.
