Just recently noticed i have eggs on some live rock. the only habitants in my tank that it could be is the 2 clowns i have. They are on the floor of the aquarium on a piece of liverock close to the anemone they share. The question i have is will they hatch and survive in my main tank? I didn't get the clowns with the intentions of breeding them but as i read more and more is likely to happen. is it possible for them to survive with my current setup? I have no other tank to move them and am left with little options unless a goldfish bowl would be sufficient. I have a 35G tank with crushed coral and 20-30lbs live rock. I am not using a protien skimmer, for filtration i am running 2 aquaclear 30's and a powerhead. I do frequent but small waterchanges and have excellent waterquality. For lighting i am using 2-75w CFL's 1 powerglow and 1 atlantic blue. I have a large BTA, the 2 host clowns, 1 peppermint shrimp, 2 skunk cleaners, 10 turbo snails, 4-6 small hermits, 1 haloween hermit, 1 yellow wrasse, 1 blue chromis.

Hello billyboy2, To answer your question, no they will not survive in your display tank. You must separate them from all other fish. Read through my thread on maroon clownfish breeding for more info. If you have any other question, please feel free to ask !
