Ok, new scenario for me..... Our clowns spawned about 4 days ago for the first time. The clutch was pretty small in comparison to what I found from an online search, started with about 20-30 eggs. Today there is only about 9 left. This morning when the lights came on they began moving their BTA off of the rock they laid on by pushing it with their mouths and tails. They've cleared a spot in the sand and are pushing it towards it. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before? If so can they explain what is happening? Here is a quick pic for reference.

Get some video! Beautiful clowns.
 
Maybe they want the bedroom closer to the nursery.
I don't have a real answer for you, sorry.
