Mr S Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 So I got a spiney sea urchin tonight and as soon as I put it in the tank it started spewing out white milky stuff. Was it sperm, its intestines, death juice or what? Anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've seen it many times and alot of it. I havent looked it up to see what it is but I dont think it bad, probably time to google it Found this When an urchin is ready to spawn, it releases a chemical signal into the water that makes every urchin around it release their eggs or sperm at the same time. This mass release of gametes increases the chance that the eggs will be fertilized. Divers and snorkelers may see clouds of gametes released by spawning urchins, and in sufficient numbers, spawning urchins can even turn the water milky.
