What are some signs of clownfish spawning?
what do the eggs look like?

The eggs are very tiny, they look orange/red and are stuck to something. In my case it was the tank's glass. The female sort of smears the eggs from her underside onto something that is flat and around their home, like an anemone, if it has one. Even one female can lay the eggs, then the male if you have one spawns them after they are laid. Males are smaller than the females. Clownfish can change their sex depending on how many are in a tank. If you have more than one you probably have one big one and lots of smaller ones. The female is the big one and the males are the smaller ones. The female is more aggressive during spawning too.
