Are those the snow onyx that were at Dennis' place for a while?

Nice,
Im looking at the eggs and see that they are around 1-2days old. U should wait till eggs turn silver(around day 6) before you let Cat take it home. If you take them home to early, eggs will get fungus.

Slowly restart the parents tank and my growout clown system is doing good. They are 2 different systems.


Would love to get them eggs if Cat doesnt want it but you need to let me borrow that liverock too.

I moved the rock slightly to get the anemone to move off of it. Their home is currently attached to that piece of rock. They do tend to go back and forth between the two nems before they laid eggs.

Some people (e.g. on nano-reef) have success with pulling eggs very early, even day 1. That requires a lot of aeration on eggs later - and some experimentation to master technique. I think it is discussed in detail in NR Breeder`s lounge.

Another solution is to let them hatch in the parents tank and then using the fact that larvae are phototropic lure them into a some kind of larval trap.
