True percs laying eggs
 
Got a video of them going to town laying eggs. The RBTA moves out of the way and they do this for about 30 minutes. As you can see there are MANY eggs. They do this every 2 weeks or so, then eat the babies as they hatch.

If you look close you can see the female's egg delivery tube (I'm sure that's the technical term right, lol) sticking out.

Best viewed in full screen HD. Sorry for the narrow screen, gotta remember to turn the iphone sideways, lol.

Thats very cool....my clown fish lay eggs as well but never seen it in action like this. I usually wake up and the eggs are there and the week of fanning and watching over them begins.....
