Green Chromis Laying Eggs!

A couple of weeks ago I saw something on the back glass panel that looked like it could be eggs.
The white spots were tiny, so I thought maybe it copepods or something like that.

Everyday I would see a new area covered. Well today I was very pleased to see who was responsible. My green chromis!!! I've got six. From what I could make out 3 of them are females. Only the one male was fertilizing the eggs at the time I observing. The females would make turn laying the eggs while the male swims with them & also afterwards in circles.
It was really cool to see this behavior!

Here's a clip:
