Tank inhabitants:
I have since moved the eggs to the 75g refugium of our 300g to see if they are fertilized or not. From my research, fertilized eggs will turn black within 24 hours while unfertilized will stay white. Guess we can only wait and see what happens as this literally happened like 2 hours ago.
