Here is what I notice when mine is ready to lay her eggs or has laid her eggs.

The male stays at the eg laying location and the female will come out when food is in the tank.

At the time the eggs are being deposited you will see a little light colored thing sticking out of the female abdomen.

Other than that she will be way fat for a day or 2. The laying cycle at least on mine is 14-20 days so they are going all of the time like this.

Female gets fat
Male cleans the site
they go in and out of the laying site repeatedly
Male cleans the site some more.
Female lays eggs
male stays and guards.
female does what she wants

Repeat

Some full body pics of the female that are not hidden by the coral would be helpful.

It will be obvious if they are spawning. Watch them closely at feeding time.
My first hint that mine were breeding was that I could not find my male at feeding time.
