I have a pair of clown fish.
I didn't think they were a breeding pair...
but now I see a clutch of eggs.

What do I do?
What will most likely happen?

The tank which they are in is a 75g reef heavily stocked.
Yellow Coris, Green Mandarin, Long spined urchin, Copper Band, Coral Banded shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, Flame Angel, Scooter Blenny, 3 Stripe Damsel

you know what will happen!!!
most eggs will disapear with in few days.
most mating clown pairs can hatch eggs very often
resulting in being food for other fish.
I have a clown mating pair in my tank and so far.....no Babies....
and this has been going on for years.
cheers

+1 yellowtang... the eggs will hatch (at night I believe) and disappear. Food for your other inhabitants.

I was looking into this before.

If you really want to bring them to full grown clowns, its a bit of work.
