Cool Clam spawning photos
One of my clam spawned last night for more than 30 minutes and at least 20 times. I've done a 10 percent water change today, and am wet skimming to remove waste. Here are some photos.

Spawning is triggered normally caused by stress. Is the clam ok now?

To me it's a Red Margin Wrasse, some call it a super male.

He is beautiful. I would like to have one, but he would most likely fight with my Lineatus. Thanks for replying.

Cirrhilabrus rubromarginatus is the species name of the wrasse.

That derasa looks great!
