Bristleworm Spawning?

[BigIan]

Just been looking at the tank and there are LOADS of bristle worms out, all squirming and shooting out this occasional red mist.....

i`m guessing they`re spawning, am i right?

 

[SkiFletch]

Sounds like it. Never seen this myself, must be really cool

 

[BigIan]

it lasted all of 10 mins....

i spotted one worm out when the lights were on wich was weird, then another then another....

they were rolling round and as they flicked their tales they threw this cloud into the water,

i can onbly asume that the new light has triggerd it,

yeah sort of! wierd isn't it, quite cool though.

this is the first time we'd seen it, lights were on, we've no actinics on at the moment so not under them.

Is cool sort of! I think. Just have to say I've seen the biggest one yet in my tank came out at feeding time. about 6" long and as think as a pencil!
