Clam spawning photos

[Reefit]

One of my clam spawned last night for more than 30 minutes and at least 20 times. I've done a 10 percent water change today, and am wet skimming to remove waste. Here are some photos.

Talking about the photos or the clam?

Damn! That was my thinking exactly. Glad I scrolled all the way down

[Julio]

nice shots, how big is your clam?

 

[Reefit]

The clam is about 10" long.

Spawning is triggered normally caused by stress. Is the clam ok now?

 

[Reefit]

Clam seems healthy and looks good. Here's a photo I took just a couple minutes ago.

To me it's a Red Margin Wrasse, some call it a super male.

He is beautiful. I would like to have one, but he would most likely fight with my Lineatus. Thanks for replying.

Here's a photo of it. Thanks for the comments.

Cirrhilabrus rubromarginatus is the species name of the wrasse.

That derasa looks great!

Weird my male Derasa also spawned recently on the 14th. He is about 8" wonder if there is some sort of cue they are following.
