The small individual with long arms is a male and the large individual with short arms is a female. The male is following the female without getting too close. A little later, the female inserts its arms into a sponge and begins laying eggs. The male shows courtship-like behavior toward the female afterward but the female flees. The video picture also captured the female apparently preparing for another batch of eggs. (translated by Asoh)
