Hi Dr. Ron, sorry again for posting on an off day...justing doing it while i can...

I am ashamed i took no pictures or video , my wife and i watched for 20 minutes never even thinking to get the camera.

a week ago in my 60 hex reef tank... my abundant bristleworm population (near as i can tell pareurythoe/linophereus) all came out of there lairs on rock/sand and started wriggling...then would shoot out ~1-2 cc of pinkish substance i think was sperm and egg...2 different types of cloud, some made of larger stickier stuff and others finer...

this went on for 30 minutes then they all dissapeared...some of the unlucky few were picked off by some shrimp, too tired to escape...

Hi Dan,

Well, you are a grand worm daddy....

This is a pretty common occurrence, but that doesn't make it any less impressive. I will be you had some happy suspension feeders. :D
