Has anyone had clownfish eggs go to adulthood in their reef tank?

My clownfish just laid eggs. I have no intention of raising them. Just natural food for tank. But I'm curious has anyone had a clownfish go from eggs to adult hood in their display. Just like paid no attention and then suddenly see a couple little clowns swimming around in tank. I doubt this would be possible as I have alot of fish in tank and they tear up my molly babies pretty fast. Especially the hawkfish and wrasse.

The main problem is a lack of appropriate food, not predation. I’m zero for a very large number.

Curious if small pods fed daily might bring some to size assuming something was floated such as in guppy tanks as I assume they’d stay near the surface for a period of time. Recall one on a FB group who used a smaller species and claims his clown ate their young. Much easier than rotifers in thinking
