Spawn Details
|
|
Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
The female will vigorously clean for the 24hrs leading up to a spawn.
|
|
Spawning Behavior:
|
I noticed something was weird when the female was helping to clean around the base of the anemones...she never helps. Every spawn so far, she becomes very bloated, refuses food, and cleans the nest site 12-24hrs prior to spawning.
|
|
Post Spawn Behavior:
|
Female occasionally helps clean and male spends all day cleaning the eggs.
