Very cool. How big are they in the pics?

 

[cateyes]

that is AWESOME David!!!!!

is this the first time that they have been released from the males mouth?

i am soo jealous, i had a pair that i thought were breeding, the male often looked like he was holding but i never saw anything....

good luck with them!!!!

oh yeah, i hear they like to hide in the spines of a long spine urchin. do you have them in a separate tank that you could add one to?

 

[OneReef]

Awesome. Are you going to sell them?

Hey Richard,they are approximatly a 1/4'' long now.The first 2 batchs he carried for 4 or 5 days, I think he ate the eggs..This batch he carried for 20 days,when I saw one come out I knew it was time to catch him.As soon has I got him in the net he released them.I currently have them in a 12 gallon nano,no urchin yet.
Jay,I need to recount to see how many aren't spoken for,I am planning on keeping 4 to get another pair.

I would like to add yours to my tank just for the coolness factor that you grew them. But I am not sure how much they would like all the flow in my system.

After going through my pm's ,all of the first batch is spoken for.The female looks like she has eggs again,which she should release in a couple of days.I can put you down for a couple in the next batch.This batch will be ready to sell at the end of October.
