Spawning!
YAY! I know they are just limpits....but it was cool as hell. They were all towards the top of the tank on the rocks and they were all shooting sperm and eggs into the water. It was freaking sweet. It happened about 4:30 in the afternoon too....but hey whatever man! It was freakin sweet! I dont have pics. :( Sorry guys! aiptasia is getting outta control......gotta get some peppermint shrimp. Do they eat amphipods? Copepods?

That's cool, it's always nice when animals start reproducing in our tanks. That means we're doing a decent job. I have 6 peppermint shrimp and I believe they do eat pods, but I have so many that it's not an issue. They would rather go after the other food I feed my tank. However, they haven't eaten all of my aiptasia. I still have to kill the buggers with aiptasia control once a month. They have reduced them though.

I've got 6 peppermint shrimp in my 200 and they haven't touched a single aiptasia yet. I just purchased the aiptasia control but i'm giving them a few more days before i blast them.
