Ok noticed these had eggs yesterday 29.12.12, I suspect they've had lots of them as it was inside a pot, I've disturbed them and there now in the tank alone ( I removed the tail spot blennies) and have left them with some easer to view pipes, hopefully there keep spawning, as I'm keen to raise some of these

More eggs noticed 16/01/13, ther on the back of the tank though rather then in the pipe,

Think I need to work on a suitable cave for them

Good luck with them. They must be happy since they are spawning.

Eggs where still there last night, really hard to see how there developing so I may let them go to get a days to hatch estimate, really need to get them spawning on something I can remove, they don't seem to like the pipes in there
