Clownfish Laying Again
Well it seems like an eternity since I updated this Tank Journal.

My clownish were laying every month without fail a while ago and suddenly stopped. It's been 6 months+ with no eggs - not sure why???

Anyway, the other night I caught them doing this.

Whist this clutch (??) (or is it nest or something else) of eggs ended up being relatively small (previously they were about 4-5 times this in size/volume) it's a start.

I don't do anything with them (other than feed the corals in about 14 days :D) at least it seems they are in good health and relaxed again.

Mine used to have off periods, so it is not unusual - maybe you changed something in/around the tank that put them off for a while?

I'm not sure if there is an official name, but the breeders tend to refer to them as a nest - I guess this makes some sense as they may not be birds, but they are eggs.
