I'd anyone's interested. My rock flowers spawned again and I caught the sequence on camera, knowing what to look for this time. My males seem to spawn more often than the females are accepting of it.
The male starts to radar dish before lights go out. The skirt comes up and then he does this:
.
The next day the female kinda did this weird thing around the same time.
Sometime at night or the next day they release eggs, this is what they look like:
In a couple days they are a weird sack like this:
And about a week after that, I start spotting some new babies kinda all over , it's the small dot next to the pinky nail sized baby from my last spawn
They kinda float around the tank and almost look like a stalk from GSP or something. They develop at different speeds at this point depending on where they settle. They moved around quite a bit in this stalk/baby stage but then seem to pick a spot and stay. All on the rocks, none in the sand so far.
They so far do it about once every six months. I got no babies from my first spawn that survived and then spawns 2 and 3 seem to have all survive so far. Like 10 babies each time.
