Its boring at times but very interesting how things fit together. I love when they get into fish talk and experiments in my bio class.
They acctually talked about Acetabularia which has a distinct crown different in each sp. attached to a stalk, with the nucleus at the base. If you were to remove the crown it'll regenerate. If you transplant a different sp. stalk to another sp. base the crown resulting will be the crown of the specific sp. base.
and then
Sea urchins
species A - shake eggs untill broken open and nucleus removed
speciec B - obtain the sperm
add A TO B
results are all eggs will develope into species B.
conclusion is nucleous(sperm) in urchins determines the characteristics of the organism.
thats your science lesson for the day haha.

GUESS WHAT!! My scarlet hermit wasnt dead after all he appeared again! I wonder what the thing I saw cut in half was in my sand bed.

The scarlet is in the same shell so I dont think it molted.

Skunk cleaner is good. And yes the crab can molt and go right back to the same shell as long as he fits.
