Is this what Chromis eggs look like?

I've noticed in the last few weeks....something being deposited on the glass....and repeated scrapped it off when I did the weekly glass cleaning.

At first I thought it to be some time of larvae...but could not figure out from what though? I noticed 2 of my chromis (have a shoal of 15) kept swimming in short bursts against the glass with the bellies touching the glass, possibly the males fertilising?

the spawn, what it looks like.

Sure,you´re lucky to have a spawn:beer:
What species are they?Noticed any color change during courting/spawning?.
If you have access to a microscope,you can scrape/siphon some few and check their development.
 
howdy....the only think I can say is that the spawn roughly between thursday and friday each week.

I really have no intention on trying to raise them, would not know where to start.....I scrape them away and they become fish food for the anthias.
