Another spawning event.

Today i came home from work and for my surprise a starfish was on the sandbed spawning. It was stand up on her five legs and dropping little white eggs all over the tank. It does this for about 15 minutes. Few months ago a Serpent starfish do the same at my tank too but this time on top of a Acro. Here some pics. Ralphyhp :wink: .

If you look at the top of the starfish, you can see two little white things like eyes, those eyes are eggs coming out from her.

You know the price for a successful tank, a lot of this $$$$$ but when you love what you are doing the $$$$$ doesnt manners.
