Hi all,
Long time lurker, first post.
I have a blue tuxedo pincushion urchin that released a black substance into the tank yesterday.
Everything that I've found about urchins in regards to spawning reports that the urchin sperm is white, and urchin roe is orange .
Unless I've missed it, does the color matter? This was black.
I got video of the end of the event as it was happening in my tank yesterday.
Video here: mespilla globulus spawning?
I changed 3 gallons out of the canister filter carriage at 12pm. Spawning event occured at 3pm.
Amm0 Nit0 N'ate20 pH 8.4 SG 1.022, Temp 76.5
I know they do their spawning thing after water changes sometimes, but I'm wondering if this was even a spawning thing at all. First time I've seen my urchin do this. It's running around in the tank looking perfectly healthy and behaving normally.
Your thoughts? Thank you!
