Clown fish eggs gone

[thedasher]

Hey guys so my clown fish just laid eggs for the first time and when I came back 45 minutes later the eggs were gone and I have a feeling the male ate them. Is this common for first time egg layers and would he eventually stop eating them and let them hatch?
Thanks

Yep. Hope so.

Make sure they are well fed.
