They are right below the base of the sea anemone.

I assume there is not much I can do since they are in my display tank but figure I would ask?

Yup! Congrats :) I just let them hatch and my other fish eat them. Unless you're breeding them it's not worth trying to raise the fry. Clownfish breeding takes alot of work.

I am no expert, but doesnt look like it. From clownfish videos I have seen on youtube, they always seem to be super clustered together. These seems to be all over the place. If these are pinhead white glossy dots, then they are small filter feeder snails. I got tons all over my rocks. Harmless. However, if they are indeed clownfish eggs, you will find out in 8 days when they hatch!

I could not tell from those pics.
Were they orange?
They start orange and then become silver after maybe a week, and it would happen about every 2 weeks, and I agree, great fish food.
It is a little work to raise fry

Most likely yes then, it should be obvious clowns grooming them/keeping clean and then eggs turning silver soon

Definitely clownfish eggs. I'd say more often than not, if clowns are paird and are "happy" in their environment, they'll spawn.
