Here We Go... AGAIN


Long story short -

Well, they did it again!

Another spawning

This time, I got to see all the "preliminaries" and mating behavior.

Interestingly enough, the female appears to be the agressor and instigator of the spawning. She repeatedly brushes up against the males side and does a little "trembling" motion back and forth to gain his interest...

Got all ready to witness the actual spawn... wife called from the kitchen "Dinner is ready" so I hurriedly wolfed down my meal so I could get back to the action in my Reef. Got my camera all ready, and...

Dontcha know it?! Already done! Full mouth and all...




Rats!
