I doubt i's a fish spawn. The only fish there likely to spawn are the clown and damsels, and they both spawn onto rocks. The others are very, unlikely to spawn unless your tank is several hundred of gallons in size with very large examples of those fish.. I have a greater suspicion that it is a type of algae I have seen, or tunicates. Are they floating, stuck to the sides, do you have a photo.
The fish you don't know the name of is an anthia, like a pseudanthias squamapinnis. These are traditionally regarded as tough to keep as they need very, very frequent feeding
