Tomato Clowns

A while back I saw a real good deal on a fluval flex 15 gallon tank with stand. I picked it up to grow out frags instead of using my main tank. I put 1 tomato clown in it at first then felt a little guilty so I added a second one. The original didnt seem to like his new buddy and was a bit of a bully. But over the last week or so they spend all their time swimming around together. They swim around in tight circles and sometimes end up face to face to face. My guess is they are pairing off and going to lay eggs at some point.
I have a few questions,
How long on average does it take after they start this behavior until they lay eggs?
I googled how to raise them. While it seems easy enough its gonna cost me more money and I already spend enough on this hobby. So if I decided not to try and raise them what do I do with the eggs they lay.
Then if I do decided to raise them, what do I do with all the fish I hatch?

I have Red Sea Spotcintus clowns that lay eggs on the regular, by nature's standard version they'll eat the ones that they think won't survive, l haven't had a clutch survive more than a couple days on avg, but I also haven't tried my hand ay rearing them either.
