Do they all get along for the most part? I've been talking to ppl that did harems with my clowns and seemed like most are doing ok with a group of 10 so far.

I've never done the clay pot before, but definitely something to think about.
In the meantime, there are 3 tiles in there all glued haphazardly. Take that! Ha!

Nice! The great thing about using clay pots is putting an air stone through the hole, which keeps water rolling over the eggs. As long as it's not too strong.

Yeah, I've seen some videos with the pot and airstone. It looked like it helped circulate the water over the eggs very well.
In the meantime, the magnifica moved an inch over and those clowns are still looking for their original egg laying spot on the rock.
Then I came in and made this work of art just now!
This Friday (next egg laying date supposedly) can't come soon enough!

Clowns/magnifica 1, Jamie 0.
I gave up on the tiles: the magnifica walked all over the tank. IME, mags are a lot more prone to walking compared to gigs. Previously with gigs, I could stick tiles everywhere and no one cared! Anyway, can't risk other corals getting stung, so the clowns won: tiles removed and eggs laid directly on rock again
Here we go again!

Oh man, that looks like a good size clutch too. Ugh! Try a clay pot or if you have a small palm sized piece of LR, put that near them.

When I was busily removing tiles I realized that the entire rock the clowns are laying eggs on/where the anemone foot is sitting on, is relatively small and thin. Must not waste a great clutch of eggs! Larval trap is too risky . Come next weekend, the entire rock + eggs are coming out for hatch night! Stay tuned!

So, after all the initial craziness, I finally ended up pulling the big rock + eggs and brought the whole thing into the hatch tank. They hatched last night! I was nervous about introducing hitchhiking predatory pods into the hatch tank so I didn't leave the rock in there too long.
Larvae! (If you can actually see them!)

Yea, the are pretty good size now. They haven't seemed to have sexually matured but now there are 11 in that nem!
