Spawning Brittle Star

Spawning Brittle Star

Hi friends, here’s another cool picture of a Banded-Arm Brittle Star spawning.  Look carefully and you can see the hundreds of tiny eggs that are being released!  I found out the night I shot this that trying to sneak up on a spawning brittle star is close to impossible!  Not impossible as you can see but close as I took hundreds of photos.  They are so sensitive to light that the second you shine light on them to focus with the camera they are gone!  You wouldn’t think a little creature like this could move very fast but boy would you ever be surprised!
 
I called in sick again today and spent the whole day going thru old photos.  I’m going thru and picking out all the best birds, reptiles, dolphins, shots of Curacao, family pictures, flowers and so on and so forth and putting them all on my new 1TB hard drive so I can find things easier.  I have so many full cases of cd’s and dvd’s and about ten 500GB mini hard drives that are all full, that’s a whole lot of pictures!!  Someone asked me the other day how many dives I have done since I have been here, I stopped counting at 1000! 
 
It’s off to bed, hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Sunny regards, Barry
