Even more

She is laying eggs as I write this. This is the first time I've actually seen it action, it looks like a very small tube about 1 cm long protruding from her midsection which she drags along the rock and eggs shoot out sticking onto the rock one by one (this is a really big batch). The male comes around after each drag and rubs his even tinier protruding tube on the eggs (can't see any sperm).
