Much more movement inside the eggs now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE1iOHEEGpE     #5 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elysia crispata Sunday, November 7, 2010 3:22 PM (permalink) 148 hours   #6 Cerebral Fish Total Posts : 62 Reward points : 342 Joined: 6/2/2010 Location: , IL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elysia crispata Sunday, November 7, 2010 4:15 PM (permalink) Neat pictures.

I had these guys spawn for me a while ago, and I surprisingly noticed about 20 babies on the rock 1-2 weeks after I noticed the eggs. I have no idea why they made it, but if it helps, I did not have a skimmer on that tank. It was just a biocube. Good luck   #9 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elysia crispata Thursday, November 18, 2010 2:56 PM (permalink)  It appears to me they have hatched from their eggs and are moving around. But they are contained by the larger membrane if that makes sense. Not sure if they are eating their way out of just developing more before leaving.      #10 Chelle's Ocean Total Posts : 399 Reward points : 242 Joined: 8/14/2010 Location: Inverness, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elysia crispata Saturday, November 27, 2010 5:35 PM (permalink) I will be following... have 2 types of sp. in my tank - both of which have been laying eggs (looks like balls of spaghetti - not on the glass..)... but not sure if they are fertile? Great pics!

The only rock in the tank without hair algae I cannot get a good picture atm but I am working on it. I can clearly see oral tentacles when zoomed in.  What do you guys think?   Cropped   Full size   #12 Umm_fish?

I had a bunch of these that bred for me back in 2005, and at the time the tank was relatively new and had a good amount of food for them. Once the hair algae was gone, the nudis weren't too far behind that. Just some advance warning in case you weren't prepared and wanted to keep them! There's always someone in the hobby with hair algae.     #20 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
