I'd guess the clowns. Are they paired?

 

[james-lee]

Actually no. The first two I got were doing their jiggle dominance dance. Then I threw in a third that was adopted and no one does the jiggle dance no more lol. Maybe damsels since chromis lays alot of eggs?

 

[NirvanaFan]

None of my pairs do the wiggle dance anymore. It could be the damsels or chromis. I think the damsels will guard the eggs like clowns do.

Chromis tend to be more secretive with their nests than the clowns. So it's more likely you'd miss them laying eggs. Most Chromis also have a shorter incubation period and therefore also hatch out somewhat smaller and less developed larvae. While that video isn't quite high enough resolution to be sure, those larvae do look a bit thinner and less developed than typical clown larvae. So my money is on the one of the chromis.

 

[james-lee]

Okay thanks guys. Either way they probably gonna be fish food as I have to turn on the lights lol.

It is the damsels.
Chromis hatch very undeveloped,without pigmented eyes.
What species are them?
