Spawning among colonies of Diploria labyrinthiformis was observed on Wednesday, June 9, at approximately 16:30 while diving "Painted Wall" in Belize (17 degrees 13.560 minutes N; 087 degrees 36.108 minutes W).  Spawning was not observed that night.  Chaetodon capistratus and C. striatus were actively feeding on released eggs.
