Clowns are eating all the eggs!!! Anyway to prevent this for future spawnings..probably a dozen left from what was looked like 500 plus eggs. I have a video will post asap

Ours eat the eggs for years, well it felt that long. Do you have a cleaner shrimp in the tank?? once we moved them out of the same tank the clowns stopped eatting the eggs.

Yes, I do have a cleaner shrimp in the tank. After research, they should be spawning again in 7_8weeks?

FWIW, trying to save and raise the eggs is more trouble than it's worth. Just think of it as extra nutrient for the rest of your tank.
