Do you see the eggs inside them, before being carried on legs ? not seen any so far

You will notice behind their eyes/head a large dark patch which is slightly bigger then what is shown in the image above and that is their 'saddle' this is the eggs developing and they move down eventually and become clutched under their body. They can receive the males sperm after they moult. Usually when you spot moults in the tank you will see the males swimming laps and seeking out the female.

Here's the Ocean (Limestone) rock I'm going to hang near the surface in the Opae ula tank,
when the Algae has grown some more, with it being a tall tank I think it'll give them more area to explore and crawl about on at the moment they quite often 'park up' on the heater after swimming near the top the Oxygen bubbles are too fine to see head on but from the side

Mine too congregate around the heater, even when its 25 deg C in the tank! I'm not sure if its the shade/shadows or they really do like to extra warmth lol

Neat idea. How are you going to hang the rock?
