Just seen what the Clowns were upto over the last couple of days. No wonder the female was very agressive towards my Tang.

Heres a couple of Pics. Theres over a hundred eggs but i dont suppose they will survive.

Any advice on what to do and how to give them a chance of survival greatly appreciated.

Never raised marine fry but you must be really chuffed with a brood like that

I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win

My percs have done this regular over the years but I'm afraid they will just become free food in a community reef tank Rocky

As soon as the parents feel that the eggs are being threatened they will eat them themselves!
Cruel but free food none the less.

They should repeat this every couple of weeks.
