Miscellaneous Information: 

Retroactive to 2007, spawned them but never collected any eggs (nothing to raise them with at the time). Will be looking for other Synchiropus sp. pairs soon.

Multiple pics...I no longer have this pair. Plenty of mating dance pics, one of released eggs/sperm. And I good shot of the male displaying.
