    My clown laid white eggs. I can't find any info on why they are white. I thought they came out orange, then turned gray/white later on.

    Any of you ever seen this? I have my doubts the eggs are viable eggs.

    Are you sure the eggs are from your clownfish and not snails? I don't know much about it but just putting it out there

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Did you also see the male swimming over the egg mass releasing sperm? Sometimes it takes the male a couple of spawning events to get it right.

    He did not. My wife and I watched and I pointed out that he wasn't swimming over them and that I doubted he was releasing sperm. I have it on my YouTube channel, 10galreef or try 75galreef.
