Short clip of my Cinnamon Clown with her spawn on the back glass. There is no male in the tank. She has done this many times before, usually on a rock amongst some corals. The eggs only last a few hours, though, without being fertilized. But she guards them vigorously during that time. In the video, you can see her giving me the evil eye.

Thanks for sharing. My tomato has been doing that for a few years on her own as well. What really caught me off guard is when the anemone broadcast spawned a few times in the spring of 2009. Apparently its a female too.
