Dang, I was planning on trying to catch this batch of Ocellaris larvae which should have hatched out tonight but they are gone :mad2: !

I was cleaning tanks last night and checked on the eggs and saw that the Black Long-spinned Urchin was parked on top of them. When he finally moved, the eggs were gone! It looks like the urchin will be coming out.
This is the first time that I have seen this happen. I can't be 100% sure that is what happened but it is very likely,
Bummer.

Mmmmm, caviar ;) Bummer, Bob.

Dakota will be weighing himself in stones soon... and counting the quid in his wallet...

Might have to change screen name from Dakota, to something like, Manchester... :)

Last night the Long spined urchin moved to an area that I could actually reached it, this thing is now the size of a basketball (ok, a small basketball) and is now out of my 210 and in my 70G frag tank. Dang spines got me a half dozen times as I tried to move it.

After he's downed a "skin-full of beer" we could call him anything under the sun cause he'd never remember it anyways...

BTW... Whats the only good thing to come out of Manchester?
LOL..,. THE ROAD (told by a true Yorkshireman)

LOL! Best thing out of Manchester is the road to Tipton (that's where my family is from!)

Since this thread has already gone right off the motorway... and speaking of Yorkshire pudding, I recently introduced Brian to the delicacy...

My Mom and I always had a friendly rivalry as to who made/makes the BEST Yorkshire pudding... Mine turned out super fluffy so I sent my Mom a, "Read it and weep" picture :)

If you haven't tried Yorkshire... you haven't lived! The American "equivalent" is a Popover... but it's not nearly as good!

I can make them in one pan too - Mom always made them in muffin pans but my Nan (British grandma) did both - depending how she felt that day! I personally prefer the muffin style.

I guess it's kind of like cornbread here - some make corn muffins, and I've done that, but usually we make it in a cast-iron skillet.

Those yorkies ROCKED! The pot roast was pretty darned good too!
