These pics aren't the best, because the water is very cloudy.
These are pics of the small britle stars in my tank spawning.
This took place over an hour or so. The females, I assume, went first and turned the tank completely white with eggs and then the males came out to fertitlize the eggs and turner the tank completely red. In each event, these star fish never get bigger than a quarter and all took a posture like a camera tripod....on all there legs while doing their thing.
Attached are pictures of a female releasing eggs and the feeding coarls...It was unbelievable. The skimmer was a story all to itself. The way the bubbles came up like something a kid would blow frow a carton, was something I personally had never seen before. Not to mention the fact that my waste container was at the three quarters mark within half an hour.
I have to think that the fact that I was changing my water, cleaning my skimmer and had the MH's off for two hours attibuted to what happened, but all in all, it was an awesome thing to see.
