Wow! The male spit out a few more the next day, I had 5 collected. Then today I came home from work and the number had tripled. I count 17-18 babies now. Here's a shot of them all in their fake urchin with lots of rotifers & bbs. The male went to town when I fed him this evening too.

Here's a short video of the juveniles 10 minutes after their transfer to the growout tank from the kriesel tpday. Already off exploring their new digs, and hoping I might feed them! All nineteen continue to thrive & grow.

I was surprised to see my male holding again yesterday. He just released his largest clutch (23 babies) about a week ago. I kept the partition in to separate him from the female for about 5 days after release so he could eat all he wanted. The day after I removed it, there he was with a big mouthful of eggs again. I had to give this last clutch away for others to raise as I've run out of room!

Male only held the 12/8 clutch 2 days. Then he ate like there's no tomorrow for about 2 weeks and has a big mouthful as of 12/28.

Male was holding again on 2/7/14. New clutch just released over past few days (ended 3/12/14, my male always releases over about 3 days). Sixteen more cute happy babies in the kreisel. With this group I am going to try to get them on TDO-A within a week or so if possible.

Found a pleasant surprise in my sump this evening. This juvie was lost over a month ago just after I moved the most recent batch to growout. I thought maybe one had died and been eaten by the little hermits. They were all only about 10-12mm long back then. Now they are all +/- 2cm. This one must have gone through the overflow into my main sump, and has been able to find enough to eat. It is also about 2cm in length now, I suspect he will be in there for a long time, since I would probably have to dismantle the sump and move about 75lbs of rock!

At feeding time this evening, I tossed a bit of diced mysis in for the "loner" I found in my sump, and another juvie appeared joined the first one for dinner! So now I have 2 juvies about 2cm long that have my 75gal sump as a home to themselves! Not a surprise they could find plenty of food in there with the chaeto crop and live rock as a source of pods. They seem as healthy as the rest in my growout.
