Help! Are my blue striped pipefish loving or fighting?

[Errol]

I've had a blue striped pipefish for about 2 years in my 165gal reef tank. Yesterday, I added a similar size mate. Hard to tell sex. Can't see any bumps on their snouts and they look round, so may be 2 females. Not sure if they are getting acquainted or fighting. I was going to give it a few days to see if they settle down. Any suggestions?

I do have 2 videos, but I'm having difficulty uploading them.

Can anyone help me upload videos?

You need to upload to a video hosting platform such as YouTube or Vimeo first then share here.

Trying again with public access. Sorry about that. Steep learning curve.

Wow, very cool. I hope it is the love dance. You'll know soon enough. I assume one or both are eating frozen food. I had one years ago, good fun. I hope you can raise the babies if it comes to that.

Doesn't look aggressive so that's a plus. You mentioned they might be same sex.....have you decided on any pronouns yet?
