Welcome to reefs!

usually 2 to 5 days
but only having 2% chance to live
they will be pink to light brown, if they turn white or clear they are not fertilized

It only takes a few days usually but if there is other fish in the tank they will eat the babies. What kind of set up do you have them in? I had a pair in a 10 gallon and they had 164 babies the first time lol. It was crazy.
