I think the smaller of the two are the male and the later being be female. My clowns are mated and my female lays every Sunday. My small male will help clear everyone away while the female bites at the rock. Shortly after she beds down on the LR below the anemone and lays several bright orange eggs.
When I first got her I was told she laid eggs with the current male. I never saw this happen during his time. I transferred my 75g to a 150g and shortly after my male died. I was able to pair up a juvenile and it took a bit but the eggs began to be laid. Very interesting, if conditions are less then ideal eggs will not be laid as well. That’s awesome that you are now having eggs be laid.
