I've got EGGS!

[sonofgaladriel]

I can't believe it! My black ocellaris spawned this evening!!! :celeb3:
The eggs are in a spot where I probably can't get a good picture, but there is definately a large group of eggs below their favorite rose BTA!
I noticed before leaving for dinner that the male and female were frantically 'cleaning' an area of the rock below the anemone. They were constantly nipping at the rock and rubbing themselves against it. It was then that I noted how fat the female was and her frequent rubbing of her underside in that 'cleaned off' area. I had to go out but....
When I got home....EGGS!
I have been waiting for 3 years for this! I raised these guys from tiny clowns. I am so totally excited!
Am I right to assume that if they've done it once, they'll continue to spawn now every couple of weeks? I've read here in this forum that letting the first clutch develop and feed the tank is pretty typical. I may try to raise the next group.
I'll be asking for plenty of advice should I decide to take this on. I hope you all won't mind the repetitive questions!

Thanks Reef4Fun! I know this is probably old hat for most of you in this forum, but for me its like Christmas!
I was getting rather depressed lately with the loss of an beautiful magnifica and that first green gigantea, but this spawning has definately raised my morale!
I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow.
I'm giddy as a school boy!
