cracker Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have just witness nature doing some pretty wonderful stuff. I came home to find my tank full of small white round beads approx .25mm in diameter floating all over the display. I panicked and thought something bad was happening. I regained control and used my little brain and thought.... Maybe weve got some spawning action going on here! I turned off my current to see if I could find the culprit and one species of Zoanthid was laying eggs!! There are three groups of this zoanthid in completely different positions and all three groups were doing it! I have video footage that will be up shortly! AWESOME!

cracker Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 The video shows two or three eggs slowly being ejected from the centre of a couple of Zoanthid polyps. Look at the polyp, (Dead centre screen), and then the polyp directly below and to the left a bit. You will also see eggs floating around in front of the lens afterwards. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ ... ure694.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feelers Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 You should round them up and try to get them to grow. Perhaps trapping them between two fine pieces of mesh, or against a rock. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
