Often times when a shark emerges from the egg case, it will still have some yolk sack visible and available for it's nutrition. If there is still a visible yolk sack, the newly born shark will probably not feed until after the remaining yolk sack is consumed. If you want to get a really good view of the developing shark and are confident in your surgery skills, you can use an Xacto knife and cut a small window the egg case and then crazy glue a thin piece of plastic to it for a window. The procedure is often done by public aquariums that want to show visitors how the shark develops and I have successfully done procedure several times back in my university days .

that is greast news on the new big tank you lucky sob
I've actually done that up at the monterey bay aquarium (i think youre new here? lol i work there :) ) and have done that with a few of the skate egg cases... but being i had lots of help around i was more confident... with this one I can see it well enough that i can make out all the fins, the eyes, where the gill slits are starting to form and the yolk etc... its already gotten bigger!!! :D i'm super excited for it, just worried i'll miss the hatching and be in school when it does decide to enter this big new world

Not that we all have the disposeable income for it (even though we spend it on our tanks like we do :frustrat:), but just in case your brother gets some crazy record deal and wants to be super nice, you can get him to buy you one of these Cool Tools: Remote Web Cam
