yea my clowns spawned yester afternoon while i was taking a nap before going to work i looked in the tank and saw an area they had been working diligently to clean off for almost a month now was yellow so i look closer and sure enough it is covered in eggs :)

here is my fish list
3 true perc clowns
2 yellow tangs
1 tomini tang
1 algae blenny
1 cleaner shrimp
1 bangai cardnial
1 unknown cardnial
1 scooter blenny

my big question is if i leave them alone is there much of a chance of having some survive beyond fry

yea i have raised fw fry before so that isn't realy anything new to me

the surface they laid the eggs on is the rock that their nem is attached to and it can not be removed from the rock i was just wondering what the chances of having any survive past hatch day

oh yea how long dose it usualy take for clown eggs to hatch
 
There is no chance of them surviving without removing them and using a seperate tank. If you're interested in doing this, Wilkerson's book "Clownfishes" will give you all the details. They are absolutely nothing like raising freshwater fry as I've done both.
