I found clownfish eggs!!!
I was doing my nightly tank looking over... and I noticed that both my male and female clown looked like their mouths had been scraped up a bit... they weren't like that just a few hours before.. they seemed to be biting at something behind and under their anemone, so i went around back in the fishroom and looked from the back to where they were and lo and behold if I did not see some little clown eggs!! I don't know if this is the first spawn or not...I have never seen any others if they laid them. I also saw why they were biting at something... bristle worms were trying to get up to the egss to eat them and both clowns were trying to bite at them to get them to go away...the whole thing was pretty amazing!!! Oh... and this was all BEFORE any of my lights had gone out for the night... so full lights were still on!!!

I do too... seems I have an overpopulation right now... too much feeding I guess... I thought my Foxface had ich, so I was filling him up with garlic soaked food 3-4 times a day...
I think Mom and Dad are pooped... they seemed to give up and the bristleworm won...this may be their first spawn...I thought they had spawned before, but now seeing the real thing I am not sure if they have.

Very cool! Congrats 
I like bristle worms,.. they roam around and eat uneaten food to help process it into something the skimmer can get out a little easer (poo).

I know that bristlewroms do a great job at scavenging leftovers... but I have some HUGE and I mean HUGE... fat looking ones in there...
I am going to go check on Mom and Dad... the lights just started coming on.. I suppose there won't be any eggs left...  and they worked so hard last night trying to keep those ugly things off of them... even their little "chins" were scraped up...
