My Watchman gobies finally spawned!

I've had the pair together for 7 months. I got the female in August and bought a smaller goby in september. Initially the female harassed the new addition for a couple of days. I thought I bought another female, because my larger goby wouldn't let the smaller one come out. Then four days later both were together sharing the same den. They were housed in a 12 gallon nano cube up until friday because the watchman gobies were picking on my clownfish. I had a 50 gallon set up with a pair of cap clowns, so I decided to move the gobies to the 50 gallon. The watchman gobies went into hiding and wouldn't come out to it. Today as I searched for them I found a white clump damgling from the rockwork. To my surprise they were eggs.

I wasn't expecting them to spawn, but I'm going to try and raise them. This is my first attempt, but will start reading through Nicole's thread. If anyone can make suggestions it would be appreciated.
 
Congrats! It's a really small nest, but you have to start somewhere :) Hopefully it's more yellow than white?
 
Maybe not fertilized. Over the next four days they should get darker and you should be able to see tiny black eyes.

They are new at this, so they may not have done a good job ths time. They'll get better!
