Bored into leaving
As some may or may not know, I suffered a full on tank nuking not long ago. Sadly, as I have a number of tanks on one system, it was pretty bad. I lost every coral I have (most of which were SPS) a damsel, a comet, a goby and my female Histrio histrio Sargassum frogfish. So first, in homage to her, here are some spawning shots:
First up, are a couple to show how distended the body gets when full of eggs:
And here are a couple of pictures taken mid-lay
And the end results are thus:
Unless of course your starting fish is a female Lophiocahron sp (probably L. lithinostomus) such as :
In which case the eggs look more like
And now we are looking forwards. As of now the Lophiocharon is still with me. I am sad to say that despite the huge destruction caused by the nem nuking, my Aiptasia and Mojano are still with me. However, many of the Aiptasia have gone a blueish white, and look quite interesting (as do star fish close up):
