Clown fish eggs ?

[jmichaelh7]

Hi I woke up to my clowns protecting these orange little species I’m assuming eggs?

Are these little things eggs and are they doomed?

Yelp, and they are doomed. Once they hatch they will become snacks for everything else in the tank

Yes and Yes

What really ?

Is there a way to save them

Awesome wish my clowns would do that but guess they are not ready, will be great fun to watch te eggs devop and the clowns caring for them. If you keep them in the tank after they hatch they will be snacks for the fish in the tank.

But hey maybe you see your clowns spawing every so often and you can read up on how to hatch them. Great info on here about that.

Do a search on rearing clownfish and you will find ample information on how to help them survive. It’s a lot of work, but doable

I have a mated pair. They were the 1st two fish in my tank 2 years ago. Took over a year for them to mature. Now they almost never leave a giant Hammer coral. Female lays eggs about every three weeks, and about two weeks later they hatch and disappear at night. The male is constantly caring for them. I've attempted to put some small pieces of terracotta pot but they just pick a different spot.

Any success ?

Years of having spawning clowns and that's a no unless they were isolated in a breeder tank by themselves with the right food for the hatchlings. Sometimes the pair may eat their own too if not someone else.

No success, l didn't try very hard. From research it seems like a lot of work; isolation, food, time.
