Nice photos of coral reproduction even though the above photo is rather dirty (and could benefit from a little clean up with hydrogen peroxide). My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

That photograph was taken in situ. The specimen is already clean and did not need more than soaking and gentle brushing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Saunders Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Does anyone know if corals reproduce by laying eggs like fish spawn or by so to speak or by dividing into two? Crinoids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, informative collection. Your "beginning" polyp looks like fireworks on New Year's Eve. Or maybe the Big Bang. Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, informative collection. Your "beginning" polyp looks like fireworks on New Year's Eve. Or maybe the Big Bang. No, they are not all together. Not all were collected on the same date. Each one is in a different box depending on the date of collection. These are difficult specimens to find, not always when I go to the outcrop bring some of this one at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
