So I did a water change this evening and as I was cleaning up, I noticed a bunch of mini brittle stars waving their arms and climbing out of the rocks. I kind of panicked, thinking maybe I had raised the salinity and they were trying to escape (the same as when people use hypersalinity to get hitchhikers out of live rock). Tested the salinity and it was fine. Then I saw that the tank was cloudier than after the water change... strange... and then I saw they were spawning!
I hope this video loads. It was hard to get a good shot of all the stars, but I've got a crapload!
