Hmmm, you should be careful, i hear fish don't do well with second hand smoke :P

Never seen that before, spawning/breeding maybe?

It's sperm. You have a male.

Females release brown eggs.

They also can do it from a lot of changes in the tank.

Hahahaha.

But yeah, that's a spawn. Not too uncommon. Can be a stress response or it could just have been time..

"reef porn" eh? My Maroon pair got down to biness this afternoon, female laid down a huge patch of eggs. The male's a little champ, you never see anything floating around, he gets it done with no mess.
