Ok so my collector erchin is emitting this white shit out of him and my whole tank is going cloudy!!!!

My fish are going nannas

Now the other is also doing it... HELP PLEASE

 

[SpikeHoover&Rocky]

OK. I think they are spawning... one has this white shit flat out and the other has like little eggs on the ends of its spines...

 

[SpikeHoover&Rocky]

Confirmation would be nice...

 

[chimaera]

Sounds very much like spawning. Someone posted a video on here of theirs doing similar I think?

Spawn = gametes = zooplankton = coral food.

Just keep up the skimming and all will be fine.

My bristleworms turn my tank into a milkshake now and again, no ill effects at all.

Thanks @chimaera and @chrispc66

I was about to post that my "Protein" Skimmer was going nuts... excuse the pun...

and corals closed up esp the ric and zoos

Didn't get a pic :( but essentially was sea urchin

then all the corals had a smile and went then the light went out...

I don't even want to think open it if it happens in mine.......................since I only have the 1 collector :p

Well depending on how safe it was.................. I may have an excess of collector urchins soon...lol

Or Fish Urchin..... Furchins... off shoots....

I have something spawn in my tank now and then, not even sure what is is ... a little tube appears from an acan and spits out eggs I think, goes on for 15 minutes and covers the tank. I am afraid it might be vermetid snails

Here's a vid of my tuxedo urchin spawning, happens every time I do a water change :)

 

[Bdear22]

Don't know why that didn't work? Here's a pic instead

 

[Priscacara]

Nice little vid, lol the noises in the bg are .......................? I had a try to upload it as well and comes up with a save as window, could be because it isn't a pic file and not on one of the 3rd party host sites.

 

[Bdear22]

@Priscacara haha yeah I think my little bro was playing cod... Your probably right there, it was just an iPhone vid

 

[chimaera]

Hahahahahaha those COD noises are hilarious over this video.

 

[Bdear22]

Think it encourages them to spawn ;) @chimaera
