On Wednesday 17, I discovered that my percula clowns had eggs in a rock again. This is not the first time. The first photo was on that day with my Nikon D60, Nikkor zoom lens 18-135mm with the camera flash, 1/80 sec., f5.6, handheld.

The first days is like a mass of orange eggs.

Yesterday Wednesday 24 the eggs were almost ready to swim! You can see the eyes and are blue. Here are the best of close to 140 photos. These are with an external flash, with tripod, Nikkor AI-S manual focus macro 105mm (no mettering in my D60), 1/160 sec., f/11.

This morning they were all gone :(

Enjoy :thumbup:

Stunning! From my reading it is a heck of a job to get these things reared up to a respectable size. I really enjoyed looking at this post!

Sweet pics! I just read your tank of the month article and I gotta say you have an amazing tank!!! My wife is from San Juan, and we come down there every year. It's always so hot so I don't know how I could keep a reef with metal halides. By the way, what are your clowns hosting?
