So my g/f walked by the tank and said, "i think your sea urchin is bleeding!"
So I go in there, and its not bleeding, its spittin out eggs!!!

Too bad my other 2 died, i coulda had a bunch of little urchins.

Theres not another urchin in the tank, so they wont be fertilized. But the fish sure enjoyed the free buffet of sea urchin roe!!

Yes, i knwo when it taking a dump. This was not the white stuff coming out of the middle.
There were 5 areas on the top of the sea urchin that was spewing out thousands of tiny red eggs. Which the fish were eating.
Dont worry, your not bursting my bubble, b/c it was doin more than takin a crap.
