Brittle Star Releasing Eggs...

Post by bigfatfish »

Just managed to grab my camera to capture (badly) one of my brittle stars climbing the finger coral & releasing pink ?eggs into the water. So interesting to watch !![ (640x480).jpg[/attachment]attachment=1]Pufferfish 001

The second picture is the star climbing up & the first you can JUST make out the pink eggs...

I've got baby "fancy" starfish all over my tank. Hundreds of them!

My brittle stars will do that all at the same time... Makes the entire tank cloudy for a day or so, until my skimmer cleans it out. Kinda weird. I now have hundreds of them in my tank, just like PP.
