clown eggs? Colleen 03-28-2005

Yesterday some white stringy and bumpy stuff appeared on two different rocks
on opposite sides of my tank. I was wondering what was growing all of the
sudden, but the only thing that makes sense are eggs. Today I just noticed
more of this stuff on the back glass in two close spots. When I had a
freshwater tank I had a pair of angels that laid eggs every so often, but
was unable to get them to live. The stuff in my salt tank is different in
that it is kind of stringy in some places, but the bumps look like they can
be eggs.
Has anyone had experience with this? Is there any hope of offspring? I've
heard it extremely difficult to breed saltwater fish.
TIA
Colleen

If you could post a link somewhere to a photo, we might be better able to assist
you. It doesn't sound like clown eggs to me. Clown fish usually lay their eggs
all in one place, and in an especially well protected place at that. Then they
guard them fiercely. Having said that, how many female clowns do you have (if
they are all one species, you should only have one).
