Congratulations
If raising clownfish babies is what you want to do, that's awesome. Unfortunately it's too late for this hatch. They look about 3 days from hatching. Would you like to watch this hatch?
Aloha, Mark
P.S. Moving the clownfish stops their laying for usually 6 - 12 months.

I haven't done much research on this and it's totally unexpected but awesome! What makes it to late for these ones currently? For the future after i move them over the their new tank is there something else i can do to be more prepared to handle this next time? I would love to try raising some

The reason I said that is twofold; 1) a proper tank must be set up to keep the Clownfish when they are Larvae and then when they change to baby Clownfish; and 2) the proper food must be grown or acquired.
Here is a thread from a little over a month ago where this same topic came up. Shaun and I put some helpful information there:

Looks like clown eggs to me, congrats! A few basics you will need: a rotifer culture, phyto paste, small rearing tank, small air pump and air line.

I think mine have been laying constantly for like 15 years. They just never stop. Frisky little couple :-)

Any update? I'd love online bingo to see some pics of the babies.
