has anyone ever seen orchid dottybacks lay eggs or anything like that? cause i got a ball of almost sponge, and it looks like eggs and she keeps twirling around it and kind of fluffing it up. can i take them out now or do i need to wait till a certain time? any help would be great!
 
The Orchid Dottyback, like other members of the family Pseudochromidae, lay eggs in a mass that are not adhered to a substrate but held together by filamentous threads. The egg mass is usually deposited in small nooks and caves and tended by the male. The eggs hatch in about 3-4 days and are larval for 28-30 days.

from ora website.
