what to do clown eggs?

[vsecret]

I have a mated pair of Ocellaris Clown's...i was wondering how long will it take for them to produce eggs? also, once they do, i dont want any more clowns, what do i do with the eggs? just let them hatch and give them away, or what?

The time frame is different for every mated pair. Once they start laying they generally lay twice a month unless something disturbs them. If you don't want any more clowns then just let the circle of life run its course. The ones that hatch will get eaten or will not survive either way.

so if i just don't do anything, it'll be okay? Because i'm not into, at least not at this point, raising clowns

Pretty much....very unlikely that without special care any of the eggs would survive. Read up on the breeding threads here and you will see how hard it is for most people to keep even 10% of their hatchlings. They just don't make it. Makes you wonder how they even make it in the wild.
