are these what I think they are? My clowns are acting extremely terriortial than normal!! Please advise, notice the orange color eggs with the white tips. Now here is the kicker I just added a very small dwarf lion fish...if he sees this it will be some nice caviar for him..unless I remove him. I guess what im looking for is to know for sure that these are eggs...

The fry won't survive in the tank. You'll need to setup a seprate fry tank to raise them, culture rotifers to feed the fry, and culture phyto to feed the rotifers. I highly recommend getting the book Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson if you really want to raise any fry.
Don't bother trying to save any fry from this spawn. The first couple spawns usually don't produce many fry. Your pair should continue to breed every two weeks.

honestly when i bought the pair over a year and a half ago i never expected them to lay eggs cause they never have..so how do i get the fry into another tank? just take the scrap the eggs off overflow and put them into another tank? I have an extra 30 gallon just sitting around...
