Wow that's so exciting!! It can be a lot to learn and a lot to buy to get ready in such a short period of time. But luckily if you keep your clowns well fed and happy they should spawn again shortly. Mine seem to lay about 3 days after the previous eggs hatch. The eggs themselves usually hatch from 8 to 10 days after being laid.
WOW. OK this is amazing! Looking at these images---I might be at day 1-2. They are very orange and tiny balls. There MIGHT be time to get something set up and try to raise them. I feel so bad for the little fish who is constantly tending to them - chasing away all the fish and the cleaner shrimp, just to have them all become tank snacks.Wow that's so exciting!!

Here is a good picture example of the eggs as they mature. They tend to get very silvery right before they hatch.
The silver of the eyes is reflective so if they are in a shaded spot it may be hard to see. When it was getting close to hatch night I would turn off the flow just before lights off and check to see if I saw any fry hatching 15ish minutes after light out by shining a light near the surface. Just be careful not to shine lights in the eggs as it will stop them hatching for a while.
OK Thank you! I have been turning all the pumps off after lights out for the last couple nights since they turned grey and checking. I'm sure I may be a few days off. I discovered them earlier this week so I might be only on day 5-6.
