Ever wonder what seahorse eggs look like?

[Domboski]

I found this egg mass a few weeks ago and wasn't sure where it came from. Well, after watching my seahorses mate today, I witnessed the female mis-fire the eggs and miss the males pouch. Now I know who the culprit egg layer is.......... The Lined Seahorse (H. erectus) :splitspin

Seahorse caviar, yum.

i hear they are great with toast!

great shot! lets see if they hatch

 

[Domboski]

LOL. They are not going to hatch because they found a new home in the stomache of my reef fish! They never made it into the males pouch so they wouldn't be fertilized anyway.:eat:

just take a teaspoon and shove them into the males pouch...

:lol2: One of the males looked like he was pregnant so hopefully I'll have some fry for you soon.

Dom, next time, bring them over and we can look at them under the microscope!

Mine aimed very well. They only lost one or two which you can see falling
(or is that spots on the glass?)
I collected these guys in NY

 

[Domboski]

Nice shot Paul!

I think that would be um....nevermind.

very cool, and also somewhat voyeuristic.

....fishy porn.......

then again, the whole concept of a whole world in a glass box in your living room that you can stare brazenly into at any hour of night or day........ makes me wonder what makes all us reefers tick.......

or not.
