They are very open water outgoing fish in my tank by my ocellaris pair a staying close to a dark overhang and somewhat fending fish away. They are also not travelong more than 6 to 8 inches away from the spot and even then its mostly a female. I believe I can see a dark red patch of what might be eggs above them. It is a dark overhang so I cannot tell for sure.
 
It's possible that you're female lay eggs. But to be totally sure, if your able to shine a light with your phone or flashlight so you can see for yourself. Take pictures. Are you planning to raised clownfish?
 
Most likely they have. Like @LatinKing said, shine a flashlight. Sometimes you can see little eyes glowing back at you! I have a pair of Clarkii clowns that spawn every few weeks. I’ve never seen any fry. I’m sure they get picked off pretty quickly. That may be the reason my six line Wrasse and sunrise dottyback are so durn fat!
