Clownfish eggs disappeared

[PowderTang]

Hi yesterday my clown fish just laid eggs

 

this morning they are totally gone when I sea a starfish covered the part with eggs

 

when I removed the starfish, eggs are gone

 

may I know :

1. Are the eggs being eaten by starfish ?

2. Or eaten by the new clownfish parents ?

3. Or eggs are eaten by sth else ?

4. Or because the clowns are first time parents, their eggs quality are bad, hence the eggs are eaten up ?

 

thanks
