So in my wife’s anemone tank, the only thing that has a pair (besides inverts(just snails, crabs, and urchins)) is her clowns. She said she had some “baby fish” last month around July 12 but they were gone by the time I got home to look. Well they’re back tonight. And they look like baby fish to me. Just not sure where the clowns are hiding the eggs. So clown breeders, do you think these are baby clowns?

Also while it’s too late for this batch, any thoughts on raising them?

For a size comparison, they are in a frag cup. Likely not even 1/8 to 1/4 inch

Sure looks that way
Feed them baby brine shrimp and rotifiers
 
Thanks. I think it’s too late for this batch to try to be saved but the wife wants to try to keep them next time
 
I saw that too but though perhaps it’s early striping or something.

If it’s crabs, it’d be hermit crabs (no other known crabs in the tank). No known shrimp in the tank either.
