Clownfish eggs in mixed reef tank - HELP

[andrewkg]

Hi - have a mixed reef tank w/ Tangs, Anthias, wrasses, gobies, shrimp, crabs, dragonets etc… my down fish laid eggs behind the anemone… any advice here to keep them safe?!

Was thinking net of some sort, unrealistic to set up another tank, do have a sump filled w/ Chaeto

Pretty sure if you don’t move them and try to raise them in a separate tank they will end up as free fish food.

How would you move them? They’re attached to the back of the tank

 

[Nick Steele]

Not possible to move them if attached to glass as scraping them off will cause damage to the eggs. Just look at it as free fish food for your fish!

short of moving all the fish to a new tank and leaving clowns there I don’t seee many options

Have they laid before?

High protein snack

No chance at getting them off. Not really worth the time raising them either. A lot or work for little reward

First time, they’re about 1.5y old
