Brianemone Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 after moving a rock and some coral last night a squirt of red little balls was emitted from something in my tank raeh1 was there at the time so he can back me up. it looked as though it came from the hydnophora but that doesnt seem to make sense, the only other corals in that area are a few giant polyps (like large zoa's with green stripes radiating from the centre???) and some diferent types of sponges (yellow, orange, white and black) any one seen something like this before???

SteveA Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Without actually seing it, it sounds like your coral spawned. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yeah that's what it sounds like to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 that was one of my options, along with it being some kind of defence mechanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 It looked more like a deffence, as it was just after it was moved around a bit. Has it polluted your tank at all Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 nope, everything is looking better than ever (i did a 25% water change right after you left just in case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveA Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 that was one of my options, along with it being some kind of defence mechanism Corals don't shoot out little red balls as a defence mechanism. If you have found one that does, you might become famous. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
