Hi all,
Yesterday, I happened to look at my tank around 10:30pm and witnessed my first coral spawning in my tank!! :bounce1: I have lunar LED's that are synchronized to the moon cycle, so I sometimes like to watch my tank at night. I saw what appeared like a swarm of gnats in the water column. Upon closer inspection, this swarm was emanating from one coral, my Seriatopora Hystrix or Pink Birdsnest SPS. It lasted for about one hour and increased in intensity for half an hour, then subsided. I tried to get a video with my i-phone, but I think it was too dark to register very well. My chromis were going wild trying to eat the spawn. I'm not sure if it were eggs, sperm, or a combination, but it was quite an experience to watch.
In any event, what a surprise :beer:
See you all at the next meeting,
Greg
