Multiple Nests from Single Pair

Has anyone had clowns lay a new nest of eggs before the previous nest has hatched? I have just had my Amphiprion ephippium pair in my reef tank, lay a new nest on the day that the old nest hatched (eg. new nest laid 2-4pm day yesterday, old nest hatched 10pm last night). My other pairs have always had a few days between hatches and laying a new nest (2-3 days). The eggs that hatched last night were laid on the 2/19/2014 and hatched 2/28/2014. edit: This is a young pair, and this was their 5th and 6th batch of eggs, both nests were of a good size and respectively were the largest nests from them so far. It doesn't seem to be an issue, just unusual so I though I would ask if anyone else has experienced it.
