Default Urchin Spawn

Well its been a long time since anything good exciting happened in my tank but my urchin spawned tonight I wondered what was going on as its tentacly bits are longer than usual and waving about in the current. Upon further inspection the tentacles were pulsing away and close to the urchin test and the urchin looked like it was smoking (for lack of a better description). I even managed to capture it on video with my camera. Pretty cool stuff!!

its pretty cool to see things spawning in tanks christy.I had a mass load of my spaghetti worms do the same thing and at first I didnt know what they were cause they didnt look like spaghetti worms.They looked like sticks until after the spawn they went back to their natural shape of a spaghetti worm and the spawning was done.
