just noticed yeserday evening a whole little school of clownfish fry hiding amongst the dragons breath algae. there must be at least 50 of them and they're tiny. i don't know how i noticed them, they're just a little bigger than coepopods, and you can just make out the little tails. too bad i'm not set up to try and raise them, but i hear it's quite an ordeal. i guess it's free food for the corals! i'm just glad to know that they're a happy couple.

When did the eggs hatch?

i don't really know when the eggs hatched. i never saw the eggs, because the rock on which their BTA is attached is turned so that their on the back side( i can't see alot of the rocks surrounding the anemone). and right beside that is a large stand of dragons breath that is pretty good for hiding, that's where they are now. but i had been noticing their typical breeding behaviors. very interesting
