When I got home from hunting this weekend, Shelby pointed out to me that my Pectina Coral was releasing eggs while I was gone. If I remember correctly, my sun coral was doing the same thing this time last year.

I will try to get a picture of the egg coming out, as I missed it last night. If you look at the picture you can see the small pimple looking hole on the right middle of the coral, this is where the eggs were being released.

Still waiting for this guy to let go so I can move him to the display (See vertical clam drop below).

This guy didn't make it unfortunately. He was attached to one of the teardrops when I purchased it.

Wow! Nice tank. I love the clams. That mantis shrimp is so cool! I would love to have one in its own tank. They remind me of some kind of alien. I really like that you built the tank yourself. I would love to do that if it was safe. You obviously knew what you were doing though. Your tank looks really pretty! =) Merry Christmas.
