Just finished a water change and my Limpets have all clustered together and are busy clouding up the water.

I assume this is part of their reproduction process, but I don’t know for sure—I’m not a biologist.

Think I’ll just crank up the music and watch the show.

the times I've seen my urchins spawn were also immediately during/after a water change, so that apparently can replicate triggering conditions for a number of species.

Interesting. This was the first time I noticed it, but I’ll certainly keep an eye out for it in the future.
