reproduction

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?

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...

Yesterday during routine I saw some glowing little polyps on the back side of my cynarina, and I was able to turn the back side to the front and finally see it..... They were two baby hammer coral!!!(Or at least I believe they are) This is the first time I witness a natural way of coral...

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. From what I know, getting coral to spawn/reproduce instead of fragging is few and far between. Ive only personally read about it...

So I was inspecting my tank and noticed some tiny green corals growing on some of my rocks. I am familiar with how coral can move around the tank by breaking off without my knowledge but these were in places I had never placed the coral by. I believe my Pocillopora must of sexual spawned because...

I’m just caught my lepto spawning for half hour. This is the weirdest thing I have seen on my tank.

Hi Experts, I know anemones reproduce by splitting and always thought mashrooms reproduce by having babies at the foot. But a few days ago my green mashroom actually split. Is this common on is this not a mashroom?

Hi guys, to get most storm babies, should I pair my male black storm with a female Darwin or another black storm, pls help me guys, thx

I apologize for the horrible video and picture quality, but i think my cleaner shrimp spawned tonight!!?? These are pictures of the pregnant mamma moments before. Video is of the spawn, but not sure it’s loaded correctly anyway, my question is - how can i harvest some of these babies so that...

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...

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...

I have wondered whether I should cut my mushroom corals, I got to this conclusion as I have a friend that has a colony that has mushroom that just barely covered a rock in a year. I just want some advice in growing them faster!
