Default I got slimed!

So, I was doing me weekly aptasia spot killings and so I turned off the mp40 and return pump. I started to shoot the couple of aptasia with aptasia-x when all of I sudden o hear a squirtting noise. At first I thought one of my fish jumped as I got a little water on me but then I saw my pair of manadarins swimming away from the top of the water. I took a closer look and saw strands of clear eggs which I'm guessing came from the female (first time I have actually seen the eggs before they became fish food). Then it all came together, a fish didn't jump, the male mandarin was fertilizing the eggs and the squirting was from him trying to give me a facial!
