Anyone with experience? I might have clownfish babies. Not sure though. I've been reading about them and it looks like once they hatch, they are free swimming. The ones that I have look like small fry with their tails stuck in the rock. There is a clump of them about 2" by 1". Both my clowns never leave the area, and are constantly brushing over them. I know pics are what's needed...I have to get a camera first. Will post when I can.

Sounds like your clowns laid eggs. Talk to Sanjay (NCPARS forum). I think he has raised them before. It's a pain in the *** to raise them, so be prepared for mucho work if that's what you're intending to do.
 
That's what i've been reading. I think at least this time around, the fry will become food for something. Hopefully if this situation comes around again, I'll be able to raise some of them.
 
I just finished reading the only thread in the breeding forum. Took me more than an hour. My decision: I have to wait and hope that the pair keep breeding. I just don't have the time/room for a grow-out setup. Maybe in the near future. Might help offset the cost of this hobby.
