Nice title... Only thing it needed was an actually between when and I. 
Clown eggs will be in a patch formation. The eggs are about the size of a pin head and will be orange/red in color. Egg mass could be anywhere from less than an inch to over 4 inches in diameter. Eggs will only be orange for the first 2 days. After which they will turn brown then silver due to the eyes of the developing fry. Easiest way to tell you have a nest is many males will stop eating or at least will not stop fanning a spot on the rockwork next to their host anemone/coral/whatever.

Yup, lots of stuff to do and it is not as easy as letting them just live in the tank. If you are really interested I suggest you buy the book Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson. It is about $23 on amazon and well worth it. The eggs will hatch around 8-10 days after being laid depending on your tank temp. To raise them you will need a supply of rotifers. I know Hung at SOM has some right now, but I don't know of anyone else. You would do best to use night collection with a flashlight until you can get them to lay their eggs on a removable tile. The links to the breeders forum and clownfish forum should fill in the details and most likely have my posts all on them.
