My zoos relased eggs

[Turf]

It was a fun day. I walked into my room and noticed my bubble gum zoos were realeasing eggs (looked like one per polyp) over about a 5min period. Sorry for crappy pic quality I need to donate some money so I can upload the originals. I took about 40 pics and made a short timelaps video of it but I don't have web site to put it on sorry. After the lights went out my other two colonies released. Any idea for future reference if there is a way to grow these eggs out, lost cause, I didn't know where to look for answers?

LoL, I didn't think of it that way but ya it looks like their pinching a loaf.

 

[trottman]

mine release long clear strings with thousands of black dots in them.... so do my rics

I have not seen my do that yet, hopefully soon. But just out of curiosity does anyone ever get any growth from the eggs? Or do they just get chopped up from the pumps.

Could be releasing the zooanthelae ??

They are algal cells living in the coral's cells. I believe the precise term is a symbiotic relationship.

Oh, duh... don't know why I forgot that.

It's probably poop or zooanth. Were they stressed by water change or ?? If not, then poop.

Couldn't it be a spawning event?

There is only one way in and one way out...mu guess is poopballs, mine do the same.

 

[DrBDC]

I guess you could try to catch one and look at it with a microscope.

Those pink ones constantly expell zooxanthallae. IME.

 

[Turf]

so zoos poop... that's news to me. I seen a front porch swing
Heard a diamond ring, I seen a polka dot railroad tie, But I been done seen 'bout everything, when I see a zoanthid poop.

Well I don't care what it was, but every one of them shot out one and it was cool, that's all I know.

 

[sirreal63]

call it zoodoo if you want...it has a nice ring to it.
