Clownfish Eggs Macro... final update 1/31

Well after 3.5 years my clownfish have started to spawn. Here are a couple of shot on what I believe is day 3. I am not going to try to raise them, I will just let nature take it course.

Taken Nikon D200, nikkor 60mm micro, off camera flash

Final update - all the eggs have hatch and nature has run its course. From what I have read clownfish have a tendency to spawn very 2 weeks hopefully I can get more practice with my macro shots.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments.


1/30 5am - 1st batch of eggs released that evening.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Just posted new pics approx 28 hrs after first set. Looks like the eyes are more developed and the body is starting to differentiate.
