Maroon Clown, Egg laying machine

[Sotong Ball]

I had a female golden strip maroon clown with me for 1.5yrs. I bought her a hushand half yrs ago. Both staying happily in their rose tip anemone Somewhere in Nov04, this couple lays around 1000 eggs on the back of the tank, beside their home. I do nothing and it's gone within 10 days. Dec04, this couple lays another around 1000 eggs at the same place and all eggs gones within 10 days too. 2 days ago, this couple lays another around 1000 eggs. But this time on the tonga. Everytime, the male is the only one protecting the eggs, quite pity him I have tangs, gobys, damsel, shrimps etc in the tank. Can someone advise me should I leave it there this time? What can I do?

Samething happen to my pair of tomato too. already 10+ times laying on the same spot and eat up all after 8 days.

I did try to block the area with a rock, hopefully i can remove the small rock rather than the big foundation rock. But it will change other area to lay.

unless u can make it lay on a removable rock so you can self feed if ever hatch, else just treat it as their food loh..

the clownfish eat their own eggs?
