I have a maroon gold stripe clown and a maroon white stripe clown. I see what appears to be eggs attached to the rock. They are orange in color. Need some adivce fast never breed clownfish before or had baby fish in my tank. How long before they hatch? What special care do I take etc... There are other fish in the tank, along with shrimps.

Yep you got some eggs going. Most of this first batch will not survive even if you were set up to care for them. My clowns breed all the time, but I just let them add their fry to the diversity of life in my tank.
I believe there are a few threads about raising the fry if you care to look around for them.
I would also highly recommend the book "Clownfishes" by Joyce Wilkerson. That book will answer a huge amount of questions about clowns and raising them.

Get the book entitled Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson. It will tell you everything you need to know about raising baby clowns.

Too late to do anything about them now. You need more time to setup the fry tanks and grow food for them. Dont worry though, if you want to raise baby clowns you will have plenty of opportunities as they lay eggs every few weeks. Their first few batches of eggs are usually not productive anyway.
Congrats on getting them to breed! With the two color variations, it will be interesting to see how the fry turn out.
