Best Answer

Lionfish eggs grow on stalks, so each egg has somewhat of an umbilical cord. There is a complex courtship as each female releases two egg masses. The eggs are encased in a gelatinous mucous that is hollow and traps sperm to increase fertilization. Settlement of lionfish larvae occurs about 26 days after hatching.
