My Lace Murex laid a big egg cluster....

......right on the side of one of my Christmas Tree Worm rocks in a small area of turf algae. It almost looks like a beehive of circles. I wonder if anything will happen with it??

WOW! That's really cool. Can you get a pic of the egg cluster? BTW, good to see you on the boards, it's been awhile.

Well they look to be developing, but I doubt anything will happen?

 

[divemonster]

why do you say that? Great pic by the way!

the eggs look cool. Same with the lace murex.


ps - it may just be me but it appears you have flatworms. and nice porites.

It isn't just you....that is certainly a case of the red flatworms.

Sorry to see that buddy. I've dealt with those and they are a real PIA. Harmless, except for their ability to multipy to incredible numbers.
