Snail spawning in my tank tonight!

[Achilles Tang]

I was working on my new tank and then I realised that my current tank water looked rather cloudy!

I rushed down the ladder I was on and peered at my firefish eating little specks floating in the water.

It didn't look like my usual CBS or cleaner shrimp fry, it just looked like... white little specks... duh?

Then I spotted it at the corner of my eye... a puff of smoke that disintegrated into little strings and specks...

Grabbing my digital camera... I captured the sequence below of my snail spawning!

Now my sun corals and my gorgonians have fully expanded their polyps and enjoying the feasts!

I am also noting a film on the surface of my tank water.... hmmm... i guess my protein skimmer's gonna have to work overtime!

Enjoy!

Yup such stuff r quite common in my tank too...always wondered wat it was....usually comes from somewhere within the rocks...

In btw....I've seen my coco worms sperming before....one will shoot its smoke of sperm...while another will juz release small light yellow eggs into the water....kinda interesting.....

Snails usually spawn after a change to fresh seawater when water quality in the tank has dropped a bit.

Yeah I read about that too... funny... I haven't changed any water in over a month!
