Hi Frank,
My camera caught my Banggai "in the act". Sorry to disappoint you but the "event" must have happened between shots. The camera was taking pics once a second so it must have happened really fast. I've posted the pic "before" and the following pic "after" and there are a couple of interesting observations.
1) In the before pic and in the previous frames the males second dorsal fin is up and after it is layed down more (and still is).
2) Both of my males have white highlighting on the front of the pectoral fins. Is this coincidence or are yours that way too?

Sorry I missed the "during" pic... It must have happened in a flash!
