Caught a couple of my Anthias making out!

Your 4 Lyretail Anthias (3 females & 1 male) commonly display "kissing" - mouth-to-mouth contact or jaw-locking — as a form of establishing dominance or hierarchy, not courtship or spawning.
Reef hobbyists frequently describe this exact behavior in anthias groups as non-harmful sparring to assert social order, especially among females or when a dominant individual "keeps others in line."
Clown fish laying eggs
First time catching nassarius snails spawn. Excuse the flatworm 😂
Micro brittle star spawning capture. This guy was big! He was standing over and inch high. He's the biggest one in there that i know of, this in the only time I've seen his entire body at once. He loves algae wafers and takes them from the tweezers into his cave.
Babies everywhere around the tank. Counted 17 so far
Clownfish spawning in the 180 gallon tank tonight! Never caught them in the act before.
Shots of a huge micro brittle spawning. I'll post the video sometime.
hoping to get babies from this two
