Frequently asked questions
Clownfish generally do not eat their own eggs, as they are typically very protective of them. However, they may eat the eggs if they are infertile, damaged, or if the environment is not suitable for raising the young. This behavior helps keep the nest clean and increases the chances of survival for the viable eggs.
