My percula behavior explained

[vetteguy53081]

I have 5 very big Perculas in my 360. I noticed about 3 weeks ago very aggressive behavior and refusal to leave from carpet anemone. They also have driven food away from carpet anemone.
Last night I noticed one of them butted against rock and low and behold, a massive deposit of eggs which are shaking and possible eye balls. So cool to experience

Did any of these eggs hatch?

I wouldn't let them. This was happening at a point when I was about to do a major transfer from that tank to a new one. Last thing I wanted to do was deal with eggs. The pair are sticking together in new tank so a sign that will resume in the future

Gotcha. I have never had a clown pair lay eggs to my knowledge... you know of any picasso or snowflake clowns that are from tank breeding.

Yes, have a local member (Wisconsin Reef society ) that has quite a few for sale - Tank bred by her )
