Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I have been on here and now I have another issue I need to address. So the 2 clown fish that I have that used to fight... well apparently they have made up and are now mating. I have a a nest of clown eggs on a live rock next to the nem that they host. The problem I have is that I know that the babies will not survive in the tank with all my other fish, plus I have 3 hermit crabs. What should I do?

Unless you are prepared to rear the babies with a separate tank and a rotifer culture, then I would just leave them be, they will become fish food.

My clowns finally started having babies after many years and have been like clockwork for the past 6 months. Unfortunately I am not ready to rear them and their eggs as of today have shiny eyes.

I understand it's alot of work to rear them. Plus we are getting ready to move. Does anyone know of anyone that has a reef set up they are selling or trading? I'm looking to downsize. I currently have a Jebo 75 gal with curved front corners. With a 55 gal sump.
