Holly molly, I just saw my Garf Bonzai spawn in my tank. The wildest thing was I could smell it when it started to spawn. Now I know my tank is doing great. I never thought I would see this in my own tank. Here are some pictures I took. I was not able to capture the release but only the after.

Heres a view from the side "LOOK AT ALL THEM EGGS"

that's cool! i love the polyp extension. did you turn off your return? do you have fish in your tank and how did they respond? did any of your other sps spawn too? i saw in a documentary that sps in the wild usually spawn at the same time.
 
Outstanding!

Could you let us know what photo-period you use? Any abnormal events recently, like large temp swing or pH swing?

Beautiful tank!
 
Mario- That always cool when that happens. You might want to do a large water change as I know smaller tanks that have crashed due to their corals spawning
 
Excellent, definately need more info, anything you think might be pertinent to the event, feeding, light schedule, and such. Great job.
 
Sweet!

Crazy that in the first pic, you can see just how much more polyp extension it has than anything else near it.

Very cool.
 
Hi every one thanks for all your great comments it make me glad you all like. As far as I can tell no changes in anything. Lighting from 12-930, Temp is from 78-80, ph 8.1-8.4. Nothing really changed.

mpoletti: im going to be doing a 15g water change today. It will be my regular weekly water change since today is when I do them.

SunnyX: The funny thing is my skimmer stopped working and none of my fish were out when it happened.

GSMguy: were is the shallow tank thread at.

For everyone else that wants some more info on my tank here is my somewhat of a build thread.
