Smoking feather duster

This morning I got up and turned on the tank lights and 1 of my dusters was smoking. Loooked like clouds of white smoke swirling from the top. Is this a male that is trying to fertilize a female. Has anyone else seen this. Its been 5 minuts and he is still going!

15 minuts he is still smoking. Is he dying? Or trying to populate ;D

Look at how the other duster is extending. He is really opened farther than I have seen before.

Procreation it's simplest form!

 

Congrats....hopefully you get some babies which could be sold to the LFS.

 

Wow!! How cool! Great shots! 8)
They must be happy.
Monster size too. You could clean the house with those! ;D

 

Hi Jay I have a feather duster that looks exactly like the ones you have and mine was doing the same thing about 3 weeks ago. At first I thought there was something wrong with my eyes ;D LOL ..................... Good luck, I don't know if you need 2 for them to Procreate or not So I don't know if I will have little ones but good luck with yous ;D.........

hehehe...reef sex

 

Cool Pics!!!

 

Congrats! Make sure to add a variety of plankton to the tank. Help feed those baby dusters.

 

I feed with Microvert, Kent Coral Accel (Makes the soft corals swell up and reach for the lights....in my opinion it really helps them grow but who am I with a tank only 2 months old. But two have doubled in size )
I also use their Phytoplanctoi somthin I dont recal the exact name. For those of you that dose with these I think you should only dose half the recomended and half the frequency as they add nutriants to your water and this amount seems to work fine.
