Yes, eggs or caviar..... In a tank, they will hatch and the fry will become food for other fish and corals.

Are you going to try to keep the fry? If so you should start researching now and setting up their food source. You can find many good websites on the web. Also, Clownfishes is a great book to learn all about your fish and breeding them.

Congratulations :dance:

I can't imagine setting up a fry raising system. Hard work. Can be done, though.

That is cool, I have a pair for close to 3 yrs and I am suprised I have not seen a spawning yet. Maybe I 'll get lucky soon. Are You planning on trying to save them or not. Now that they have mated you could always plan to breed them properly.
I have breed FW dwarf gouramis, killifish and bettas but never SW before!

pat yourself on the back for maintaining a very clean system and properly feeding your fish...sadly a feat not many hobbyists ever see...(and that refers to all the conditions i mention coinciding...)

as for hatching them out...that batch is toast...as mentioned if you want to invest the painstaking effort involved in raising them you need the books the research and lot of rots...

congrats on your happy healthy tank though.
