    Came home tonight from boating to my 7 yr old clown upside down, wedged in rock. Sadly he was deceased, and my female has just laid another batch of eggs. It's a sad end to Fathers Day here.

    Sorry for your loss, by the way do you know for normal average clowns, how long is their lifespan?

    Average lifespans I don't know, but they can live 25 + years in a good aquarium.
    Sorry for your loss:(

    Thanks everyone. It was so weird cuz he was his sassy territorial self that morning, especially since they were ready for another batch of eggs. Wonder how this will affect her. She is sticking very close to the anenome and eggs. She is my tank police normally, keeps everyone in line.
