My clownfish have been laying eggs every week for the past year or so, and I just let the eggs be and dont do anything with them. But recently decided take them out of my big tank and add them to a small tank. A few hours later they hatched and I got to see them all swimming around, but that didnt last long because I didnt have the right food for them ): Ive taken the eggs out the last couple of times and all my corals seem to be looking much better. I am wondering if leaving the eggs in the large tank would affect the water quality?

How big is your tank?
Seems like they'd be free food for the corals/fish.

Thats exactly what I've been thinking, but after cleaning out the small 10 gallon tank with the eggs, I started second guessing myself.
My regular tank is 65 gallons.

You see that the larger tank does better when you remove the eggs? I also have clowns that spawn every few weeks but I haven't noticed any negatives that I can see over the last 11 or so years my pair has been doing it including my old 45g . My goldflake maroons in my frag system are also breeding but not as regular as the ocelaris .honestly that tank was more colorful and healthy than my new high tech one =)
Interesting I'll have to see if I notice anything the days after the clutch Hatches.
Are you mixed reef? Sps dominant? What do you notice?
