Default Yellow clown Gobies laying eggs!

Ok, so my yellow clown gobies have layed their first batch of eggs....YIPPEE!
I was wondering if anyone out there has any idea which one the female would be, one is guarding the eggs/nest ferociously--the larger of the two, and the other one hangs around and "dirty dances" with the bigger one from time to time, but considerably smaller. Now i don't know if the size difference is cuz i've had one longer (started out larger when i introduced the second one) or if the size difference is like alot of other fish dimorphism between the sexes;
eg. like clowns, the female (dominant) is larger than the male (submissive).
Any ideas out there?

Guess i should give a bit of direction as to where to look for the eggs....in the shot with the goby, look just to left of pectoral fin on the underside of the SPS coral branch, you will see silvery little cluster with tiny black eye spots....i'm so excited. They must be happy in my tank!!
