10" Deresa Clam spawning

Hello ARC,

After a hard day of working on the tank, my Deresa clam decides to reward me by spawning in the tank. Enjoy the video!

Believe it or not, my one female urchin happened to be cleaning the side of the clam's shell and she decides to start releasing eggs to join in as well. It's hard to see but she's moving all her tentacles towards the center and pushing them out at the same time to distribute the eggs. By the time I noticed she was doing it, I think she was mostly done so there weren't many eggs left coming out of her.

Here's a better video I took a couple months ago of the female urchin spawning. She's the one on the left. If you pay special attention, you can see the male releasing as well. It just looks like he's smoking on occasion.

Did you say water change? Those two words are banned from my vocabulary! [emoji86]

Gig'em, you never noticed me selling cups of my tank water around Valentines day at the Walgreens by your house? [emoji7]

Special deal for former clients Gig'em. Buy one cup for $200 and I'll give you a free pat on the back! whistle.gif

Sorry Vu, I didn't mean to discount your advice. That's good advice. For my tank I'm not as concerned since I overskim and aggressively export... plus the extra water volume does help. I look at it as a free DT's Oyster Eggs feeding. Thanks again!
