    Hello all,

    I just wanted to share a friend of mines new adventure, the rearing of Green Clown Goby larvae :D

    Here's the first batch. Unfortunatly, they didn't pull it thru day 3. He and I were using a flashlight to see if the eggs were close to hatching, and I guess that can set them back a day in hatching, which usually leads to them not pulling up to day 3.

    Here's a close up of the eggs, they should have hatched this night:

    Here's the second batch, which should hatch this weekend:

    You know those eggs are gonna slightly injure that acropora, right? Hope they pull through.

    Injure? It killed the lower branches, as they almost always do. No worries, PLENTY of more acro's where that came from. Notice the missing flesh where the eggs are, and the cyano on the top :D

    Eventhough it hurt the acropora, I still think it's pretty neat. And if it's healthy, will bounce back! :)
