Default Clownfish laid eggs for the first time

Good Day:

So the clowns I have laid eggs for the first time. The eggs are on the live rock and the female is now trying to pull out the pulsing xenia that is close by. I was wondering if she will give up on this in a little bit. The eggs are orangish in color. Do you typically see the male fertilize the eggs?

I will try to upload some pics and videos.

The male will have fertilized the eggs, while the female was laying them. The eggs start orange and will start getting more silver up to day ~8-10 and then they will hatch at night. She will try to clean the area around them... She may continue to try and get rid of the pulsing Xenia, if she feels it is in the way.
