Cloudy with a chance of.......babies???

[cet98]

like many of us, I like to check out my tank most nights after the lights go out...
last night I noticed the tank was extremely cloudy and immediately thought something was wrong...maybe something had died and fouled up the water...

then I noticed this:

thought it was pretty cool

Now, THAT is a coral I wouldn't mind all over my tank! I had a porcillapora spawn years ago, and it was all over! I hated it! But, a coral like yours, growing in the overflows, may not be so bad! Nice timing on your video. Very nice coral!

thanks Dave!
get that frag in the right spot and I'll be there soon too...
I wonder if there will actually be any babies from this visible on my rocks some day. I always thought reproduction was strictly done by polyp growths directly off the mother colony...

I'm not sure... But, if you have a rock full of a bunch of "dudes", ain't no babies happening all over the tank!

Frag has been moved. I just noticed on the back side of it, there are 3 babies!!! Like as in 1/4 size of a pencil eraser! Tanks!

that's awesome that you found more babies :spin1: pretty soon you'll have your own "spawning colony of dudes" too..... :lol:
