I just wanted to add to this thread before I go off and start my own. My egg strand showed up today (a day late, of course) and they're currently settled into a shallow dish sitting atop a submerged piece of live rock in the tank. I put about half the Bryopsis into a breeder net and the rest into the container. I wasn't feeling very secure with the breeder net, so we'll see how they do.

You go Fred! I'm really glad to hear you are using a closed cup..maybe you can describe what the veligers and larva LOOK like, and then I'll know for sure if I actually have some or not. Little suckers at this stage
 Good luck, surely at least one or two of us will get some viable adults. Good job distributing the eggs Matt. No change here, still little greenish-white miniature rice grains crawling around...the bryopsis is definitely dissapearing in a place where it should be growing like crazy. Good luck Fred, can't wait to read about your progress as well. Jason

Whoda thunk we'd have ever been culturing nuisance algae?
I'll have an update on my thread later...hopefully there will be something to report other than "no changes". I've still got lots of stuff packed up, otherwise I'd be all over the container with my little 8X magnifier! Again, it may be completely irrelevant due to different species, but I had the baby nudis at about 1/4" or maybe slightly more in about 1.5-2 months after introducing the original parents into my old 155. That may give a good time basis for what to expect as far as growth.

Note about Net Breeders!!! With the bryopsis rock in it, my breeder net hangs the outside lip down just under the water level. I kept thinking I had fewer and fewer baby nudi's, but ignored it assuming they were hidden somewhere. Last night, I caught my peppermint shrimp in there...guess what he was eating!
I raised the breeder up so that the top touches the glass, so the peppermint isn't getting any more free meals. I still have quite a few...but I know why the numbers seemed to be decreasing.  They are getting a better green tint to them now...maybe pics in another week or two.Keep those reports coming, good or bad. (for the record, I culture aptasia too, for the berghias ) Jason

Well, that depends on your definition of progress
I still have 100+ crawling around, but they're just not that exciting. The are growing, but it's very slow. Just little greenish specs at this point. i'm assuming eventually they will sprout their true colors, and then I'll post pics and dote on them all the time. Until then, there's just not much to tell.
