Trochus is spawning in the tank... little sperms and eggs flying everywhere.
My male cardinal has been releasing babies for the last 2 nights. the first night all of my snails in my tank decided it was time to do that... tank was so cloudy.
Last night I cleaned up my refugium a little to accommodate the newest batch of babies. Stirred up a bunch of stuff. My BTAs actually started spawning after. My little anemone crab sat over the mouth of one of them with his little filter hands waving slowly and just gorged on the stuff coming out. Was able to find and put 11 babies in the refugium from this batch of cardinals.

I had something spawn once, not sure w
hat it was, hermit crabs I think.
those almost appear to be clown babies. did you have clowns in that tank? they don't move like invertebrate larvae. Most inverts have a plankton stage and then a settlement stage. so my gut says those might be fish?

I need to grab a few more Bangaiis. I had 2 or 3, but only 1 currently. My PJs never seem to spawn (although a few weeks ago it looked like one might have been carrying, but only for a few hours).
