That's pretty cool - I've never seen this behaviour in anemonefish (or heard about it...).

I believe that anemonefish (clownfish) do not rear fry. They take good care of the eggs, but once hatched, the fry become plankton (e.g. fair game). Joyce Wilkerson's book is a good resource.

That said, it's a great shot!
