Default Black Flowerhorns Are Digging

Is it practice, or the real thing? The Black Flowerhorn pair just started digging on the 18th of September. So far they have piled about two cups of gravel on a large flat rock in the middle of the tank, and have exposed a smooth oyster shell is the back corner. They have also cleaned off about 1/3 of a large conch shell between the gravel pile and the oyster shell. They have both been eating more than usual for the past week. Seeing as how the female laid unfertilized eggs in late summer, it would seem too soon for her to be ready for another clutch, but I have seen Flowerhorns start their mating preliminaries months before the main event before.
