Chance of baby clownfish?

Got Fish?
I have two clownfish that are quite smitten with each other. :heartpump Is there a chance I might get babies? I have a 120 gallon tank...the clownfish are in with many other species of fish....so I didn't know if it was even a possibility. Do they have to be in a smaller tank by themselves to mate?....Thanks.
 
IF they mate up they will lay eggs on a piece of rock and they will guard the eggs. About 7-10 days after the eggs are laid, they will hatch at night. The chances of them living are zero to none. If you want to raise them, you either need to remove the eggs right before they are going to hatch or remove the babies when they hatch. Rasing clowns is a TON of work.
