Recently hatch cuttlefish

[me2003]

The latest University of New England students just started. Every 3 months
there are different students that need training. Somehow I always end up collecting
amphipods like we did last weekend. So they have been trained on water changes,
water chemistry, cleaning protein skimmers and aquariums. You (Joe) volunteered
for the coral frag demonstration. I have already told them they have to watch the
Blue assessors, orchid dottybacks, Royal Gramma, shrimp, Cuttlefish ... to understand
their normal behavior and try to identify males/females. Next week I will probably move all
the eggs to the hatchout tank and have them check every day for new clutches so we can document. I am also trying to plan a plankton tow in the next week or so. The Blue assessors
have eggs and we need some copepods.

me2003,
It would be nice to get a little feedback on how the students react to being exposed to the cuttles and their observations. Ceph did a little of that when he posted a video of a night tide pool adventure with teachers (Steinhardt - California Academy of Sciences).
