Afternoon or early evening. This sounds like a comedy answer, but it isn't! If you mean, in what season or what time of year then there's no answer. They breed when they are ready. If you get a pair and put them in a tank, expect spawning after 1-12 months - there's no way to be more definite. But they do tend to actually mate in the late afternoon. Spawning can then re-occur every 12-18 days afterwards.

Clown fish, when born, are all male. Once they reach the age of maturity, the most dominant fish undergoes a sex change and becomes a breeding female. The dominant remaining male will then spawn with her. Should the female die, the dominant male will "become" female to replace her.

Clownfish generally breed by choosing a spot near their host anemone, and cleaning it vigorously of all algae and debris. Then the female lays eggs, and the male fertilizes them externally. The pair then protect the egg clutch until it hatches, and then the larval clownfish float away into the ocean.

Yes! because there are both female and male parts involved to it and sperm and an egg unite. The tricky part is that it is an external fertilization meaning that the females lay the eggs in a nest and the males come and fertilize them! Then they spend the time protecting them until they hatch.

Clown fish lay eggs and do not give live birth. These eggs are left for other clown fish to come by and fertilize.
