| 5 hsc eggs in this photo; look closely at the lowest one on the sand - you can kind of see legs |
 |
| Horseshoe crab eggs still in the eggs and in a plastic spoon. If you squint your eyes you can see legs sticking up from the one at the farthest left. |

| A close-up - now you can pretty clearly see the legs sticking up in the egg in the lower left as well as maybe some legs in the other eggs. Screen shots - what fun! |
Pretty exciting day in the hsc tank world. I decided to take a few of the eggs out of the tank and get a closer look. I've had the eggs for 10 days now and they were looking different - more transparent around the edges - so I took some photos and a video with my iPhone. It was amazing! As my daughter said, "They look like little mushrooms," and indeed they do. The most astonishing thing to me, though, was that each of the 4 eggs was moving around on its own - rolling around! The water in the spoon wasn't moving and the spoon was on a table on the floor but they were tumbling around.
The above picture is from May when I got to go to the Delaware Bay with the Green Eggs and Sand program. Here's what brand new, just laid horseshoe crab eggs look like, so you can compare.
