After a few days of static behaviour in the nursing chamber, I moved Phoenix into the main area. With cleaner water, sand and some rocks, she has a bit more to keep herself occupied with. Her features are much more pronounced and developed now. You can see a strong abdomen, it seems longer than I had anticipated and reminds me of a human spine. The three eyes are tiny, and I can’t really make out the distinctions between them. It is interesting to consider how she views the world, one naupliar eye and two compound eyes must make things appear dramatically different to how human eyes detect the world. I note there are small white appendages, visible at the lower end of the carapace; I am wondering if these are eggs? It would be incredible to think that in just nine days Phoenix is becoming a mother.
