So after not being able to figure out how to post video I just went ahead and researched what it was I was seeing and as far I can figure my Picasso clown has laid eggs and that's what I was seeing so I'm not really sure as to what the next step would be was not expecting this I'm assuming at some point these eggs will hatch and being it happend so quickly I don't have the required setup to try and raise them so now that they have laid eggs how often will this continue to happen and I can only assume I just leave those eggs in place any advise would be appreciated

Yes they will become fish food.
There are quite a few VERY GOOD threads on setups for breeding clowns in this section of the forums.
Scroll down and read them.
They contain everything from steps to equipment.
Once I get a breeding setup running I am going to do the same thing.

My pairs are on roughly three week cycles -- the female lay eggs every 12-14 days and they take 7-8 days to hatch. Once they start and their environment is stable, they do it continously.
No need to rush. It's recommended that you wait 3-4 cycles before trying to collect the larvae. This allows the parents to get better at tending to the eggs -- the female will get better at laying them (eggs closer together in a more uniform mass) and the male will get better at fertilizing and tending to the nest.
Google "pickles guide to breeding clownfish" and you'll have all the information you need to get started.
