    Snails Reproducing

    Just saw my snails squirming a milky substance into the water. At first it worried until I realized this is how they reproduce and is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. My question is, will coral consume these gametes?

    Weird extra nubs on brittle star arms?

    I just picked these stars up from the store earlier and noticed they have these weird polyp like growths coming off their arms in addition to the regular spikes. I asked the guy at the store and he said it may have something to do with breeding but wasn’t sure. Just curious if anyone else has...

    Spawning/reproduction

    I'm very new to this so this is very far off for me but to me this is the epitome of coral husbandry so everything leads to it. Its the reason I got into the hobby.

    Did My Coral Reproduce Spawning (Pocillopora )

    So I was inspecting my tank and noticed some tiny green corals growing on some of my rocks.

I believe my Pocillopora must of sexual spawned because...

    Question on mashroom coral reproduction.

    Shrimp reproduction questions

    1) My lone peppermint shrimp (from Florida so it should be Lysmata wurdemanni) looks to be holding eggs. She's never done this before. So I used my Google-fu and found that they are proandrous hermaphrodites. They all start out as male and them become hermaphrodites (and maybe then become...

    Blue sponge brag!

    I have a bright blue sponge. It hasn't grown much but it looks healthy. Today I spotted a small, bright blue mass with what looks like a typical sponge opening. There are a few more blue spots that might turn out to be sponge babies, too but they're harder to photograph. Anyone have sponges...
