i.d. Help. Do I have a problem?

close up of the egg with the algae?

the non purple egg candled

i mean really...? a purple shark egg? as long as barney doesn't hatch out of it i guess it'll mean good results...

 

[cellise]

Anyone have an estimation on time frame for this one to hatch?

Looks like its still got a way to go.. and yes purple is just the algae growing on them..

One recommendation is to un clip them from the wall atleast from the side you have it clipped on as that is the side that they wiggle out of.

ya it looks like you have a ways to go until they hatch but now you can keep a log/timeline of getting them all the way until they hatch.

haha this comment is awesome.

i think its red hair algae on the skin of the egg makes it purple but i could be wrong.
however it looks like gonna take a few month give or take for it to hatch since you could see its roomy inside the egg just make sure there is no air pockets.

Yeah, after seeing that second pic, it's red slime (cyano bacteria). I'd brush it off of the egg. Nothing too major to worry about.
And yes, you have awhile to wait. Once you see the yolk sac fully absorbed, you have a couple days to go before hatching.
