Blue Damsel eggs

[Trippy712000]

I knew my Blue damsel was going to have eggs soon...and today she did...on the inside of a shell...but i have a few questions...the male isnt looking after them...does that mean that he didnt fertilize them? even if he did..whats the next step...this is their first batch...I have a small 5 gallon tank at the ready...please help...leave them in the tank? take them out? dont bother?

Thanks
Trippy

is there any thing in the tank that will eat the eggs? if not i would live them in there until the male tends to it. sometimes males wont tend to eggs because the eggs arent healthy or because he doesnt know what to do. i think this happens more often with the first batch. also maybe the eggs are hard to reach. i know clownfish are like damsels and they like to lay eggs on flatter surfaces so they can be tend to.
