I have been a reefkeeper for over 20 years and have always been fascinated by cephalopods in general and especially cuttlefish. A couple of weeks ago I was snorkeling to update the CUC in my reef tank and a mated pair of cuttlefish swam right up to me (within a foot of my mask) and started displaying for me.
It was awesome!
A local fish store sends me weekly updates of the stuff the get in and when I saw cuttlefish eggs on the list I called them immediately and went and bought three of them.
They were on the substrate in my refugium until I saw a bristleworm crawling on one of them, they are now in a breeder net.
I can see the babies inside the eggs but have not seen any movement.
Two of the three eggs look they they are starting to deflate. Is this a bad sign?
Should I remove them? The third is still nice and plump but still no movement.
Is it possible all three are duds?
