Clownfish eggs

[hyacinth]

I just noticed that my Ocellaris pair laid eggs on a rock in my work tank so if anyone wants to try hatching/raising the fry, please lmk.

me...!

I've been unsuccessful in getting any of my clowns to breed... so would be a fun project -- clown surrogacy, new one for me!

Sure. LMK how you want to collect the eggs. It's on a big rock with about half a dozen RBTA.

Alan put a ceramic tile/pot after these eggs have hatch in the same spot. Then the next time they will lay it on that and it will be easy to remove.

There have been a few folks in BAR that have raised them before

if it's on the rock, then I think you're stuck with the eggs

I don't think it's easy to remove the eggs without damaging them at this point.

yummy!
unless you’re going harvest the fry, I would leave them be.
the eggs will hatch and feed your reef
and then the pair will lay more!
its what they do

Thanks for the great ideas. I wasn’t going to try to remove them from the rock so I was thinking for someone to take the entire rock or collect the fry when they hatch. So let’s leave this batch alone for now and next time, I’ll try to place a piece of ceramic tile near the same spot and hope that’s where they lay the eggs next time which will then make it easy to transfer.
