I noticed the other day that my paired Perculas laid egges. I don't know what to do. I don't have the resources to take care of them. What can be done? Does anyone want them? There are about 40-50 I can see; they are on the same rock as the host Long Tentacle Sebae Anemone. If anyone wants them or can advise on what to do that would be great. Thanks for the help. :blink

let nature takes its course, but if your serious about finding someone to take the eggs from you, you can put a piece of clay pot in next to the anenome for them to lay the eggs onto. Your clowns are likely to lay eggs onto that clay pot piece then you can remove it to another tank or give it to someone that can take care of them

The babies need to be fed live rotifers and most people aren't able to get them out of the tank before they get eaten.

If you want to look more into breeding clowns Instar breeds maroon clowns and is a good resource. You really need to have a dedicated set-up to do it though.

If you want to know how to raise them, check this link. It is titled "My clowns just laid eggs, now what?". I think it is exactly what you are looking for.
