I don't think they can be fed in the main tank because the pumps, etc will damage the larvae since they are so fragile and it would be nearly impossible to keep the rotifer density high enough to allow them sufficient food to survive and grow. I know people transfer the hatched larvae out of the main tank by using bowls and stuff like that. Siphons aren't recommended because they can also damage the larvae. I would recommend the books "Clownfishes" by Joyce Wilkerson and the Complete Illustrated Guide to Marine Fish Breeding (or something like that, its off the top of my head). Both are excellent sources of information about clownfish breeding
