Help! Something spawned in my tank

[frosstman]

Hi. I woke up this morning and it appears something has spawned in my 90 gallon reef. There appear the be tiny red free floating eggs everywhere. A lot are caught up in corals. There are thousands. I have netted out as many as possible and hooked up a filter with floss to remove as many as I can to prevent crashing the tank. I would suspect the occelaris clowns but aren't clownfish eggs sticky and attached to something? My additional stock are a starry benny, banghai cardinal, orange firefish, yellow clown goby, yellow tail blue damsel, orchid dottyback and btas. Was it the clowns?

Ran tanks 8 years and never had that type of eggs. At this point, they are just fish food.

I think it may have been a female bta. I had a male spawn before and that looked like smoke . This is eggs.

May have also been a coral spawning event. Made any lighting changes lately?

No changes to lights.

I'd still say it was more likely a coral spawning event. I've never experienced it, nor have I attempted to trigger it, but it sure looks like the photos I've seen from other tanks that had it occur.
