Tank has cycled and after first adding some cleaners last week I now have a pair of Ocellaris clowns (thanks Aquatek!). One tiny, one large, so I'm assuming a male and a female. The two are inseparable and swim and dance all over the tank. So, what should I expect in pairing and spawing? I don't have an anemone yet, will they spawn on LR without one? I'd love to see these guys have some babies.

Talk to Mike aka TexReefer. He's about the ultimate resource on clown rearing around here.

Also, if you're really interested, have Bruce get you a copy of Clownfish by Joyce D. Wilkerson. I purchased a copy when he set me up last summer with a pair of occellaris clowns. Lots of info on clowns in general, and detailed sections on raising fry.
