Is may cepistularia carying eggs

[Diamandi]

Just noticed this:

on my cepistularia coral and first of all wanned to share it with you. 2-nd wanned to make sure it's the coral eggs.

Thanks in advance for your replys

I don't really know either way. but I would keep an eye out for nudis.

I don't think corals store their eggs like that (I'm not sure if cespitularia reproduces with eggs anyway). As far as I know, corals release their eggs and sperm at the same time, and then the larvae become part of big plankton rafts and drift with the tides.

Those are probably going to hatch into something nasty that will feed on your coral(s). I'd probably put it into an isolated quarantine tank and keep a sharp eye on it, maybe post the pic in the diseases and parasites forum.

I absolutely agree, but I would be excited to see what they are, so set up a QT tank with the same water, and place the coral in there, and see what hatches.

Yes, but beauty with a bite!
