My Sally Just Released Fry!

[StickFish]

I WAS WATCHING MY SALLY JUST NOW AND SAW IT (APPERANTLY HER) LIFT HER SELF UP AND SHAKE HER BODY VIOLENTLY AND SAW A CLOUD OF SPECS GO DRIFITING INT HE CURRENT AND I REALIZED VERY QUICKLY THEY WERE SALLY LIGHT FOOT FRY!

unfortunatly i was in no position and not fast enough to catch any. However my reef is in quarenteen and has no fish in it. Who knows maybe some will survive.

Very cool event! Unfortunately it is unlikely any will survive. Crab larvae typically need at least 2-3 weeks (sometimes a lot longer) to feed in the water column. Unless you tank water is full of algae and tiny zooplankton they won't make it. Combine in pumps, bumping into rocks/glass and any overflow, it cuts down the odds even more.

Still a cool event. How many Sally lightfoot crabs do you have?
