i came home from vacation to find some small orange fish? eggs in my tank on one of the rocks. however im not sure what they are as i dont have much in my tank as far as fish go...

i have:
one male and one female mandarin (although i think their eggs are clear?)

a single purple firefish (has been in the tank for a long time and doesnt have a mate)

a juvenile pair of onyx clownfish (the larger one i think is now turning female and getting coloration the smaller one is still a tiny lil guy without much of his coloration)

other things in the tank are...

male and female sexy shrimp
crabs and snails misc.

anyone have any thoughts are where these orange eggs might have come from...????

from your livestock, only thing it could be is the clowns but how young is young?
you said juvenile?
what are their sizes?
