any chance these aren't clownfish eggs

just noticed these the other day. They are hidden behind a rock near my BTA. Look like eggs to me, Anyone that can verify would be most appreciated. Sorry for the video quality. Very hard to get on tape.

Those are definitely eggs, awesome,, they look from videolike they are within a day or so of hatching. Coming to that conclusion by dark and silver ends.. If you don't plan to hatch this one your corals and skimmer will love ya

Hard to tell but they do look kinda ready. One good way to tell if they'll hatch tonight is the male will almost mouth them at a feverish pace (more than he has been) the day they're ready to hatch. Good luck/best wishes. If you can't take them out/aren't prepared with an extra tank and some rotifers/phytoplankton, you'll have another chance hopefully soon! They usually lay eggs every 10-14 days so they'll be other chances. Just watch them closely and you'll see them getting the site ready/cleaned up when they're ready to lay again. The female usually gets darker through her upper body as well before she's ready to lay and you'll see her ovipositor descended. Best wishes!
