    could be, if they are a mated pair chances are they will lay eggs in your tank at some point

    I believe they are a mated pair. I don't really know how to tell, but they seem to like each other and get along.

    Mine don't mind too much when I put anything in the tank including my hands. I just want to know if they are mating. And I want to know what the mating signs are...

    No, i think their might be TOO much going on in the tank right now..I think they could have by now, but i was forced to move my tank into another room and the rocks and everything were moved in the process, then i got rid of their nem(moved around too much) and i have 3 other fish in t here with them.

    Here is a pic of them in there anemone i used to have...
