    Clown eggs, will any live?

    I have these two Clowns, one False and on True Perc. Looks like they have layed down some eggs. Is it likely that any will survive if I do nothing with them and just let them run course in the tank. 72Bow. Cannot remove the rock.

    Padanky's 72 Bowfront, after partial melt down.

    Couple hitchhiker stars on frag, scrap'em?

    Got this Tyree Toadstool from Quac, and noticed a very small 3 legged brittle star and a dime sized thick armed star too. I'm sure he has a ton in his tank if I got two on one small piece. Should I keep them or ditch them? Found two more of the thicker ones but very small.
