Will clownfish couple breed easily?

Clownfish don't need an anemone to spawn, but it is nice to watch them hanging out in it.

In case you want to look into breeding them, this cite was very informative

Back in the day i wanted my clowns to lay eggs, my buddy who couldn't stop his pairs from laying eggs gave me a little advice that worked like a charm. Daily feeding mysis and Moonlight. I think my clowns spawned a month after I installed small moonlights on my tank. I did that on a second tank with clowns and those also spawned almost immediately. This went on for about 6-7 months, where my clowns would lay eggs every 2-3 weeks. I took down the moonlights and my clowns stopped spawning.

I’m going to change my avatar to a pretty girl and see if I can get people to respond to my threads! LOL!

I’ve used chemipure elite on all my tanks and nothing else. Chemipure elite, plenty of live rock and a filter sock. My water is crystal clear always, and when I notice a tint of yellow it a clarity difference, I replace the bag and it’s right back to crystal clear. Highly recommend it. It also has phosphate reducer but I haven’t noticed a big difference in that.

Here’s a pic of what mine looked like, and I didn’t see them change from this size. They turned white, with sparkling little eyes inside, and then one morning they were all gone.

It is very, very unlikely you will be overrun by clownfish babies. You need not be worried about that.
