Coral Spawning!

Recommended Posts

I have just witness nature doing some pretty wonderful stuff.

I came home to find my tank full of small white round beads approx .25mm in diameter floating all over the display.

I panicked and thought something bad was happening.

I regained control and used my little brain and thought....

Maybe weve got some spawning action going on here!

I turned off my current to see if I could find the culprit and one species of Zoanthid was laying eggs!! There are three groups of this zoanthid in completely different positions and all three groups were doing it!

I have video footage that will be up shortly!

AWESOME!

The video shows two or three eggs slowly being ejected from the centre of a couple of Zoanthid polyps.

Look at the polyp, (Dead centre screen), and then the polyp directly below and to the left a bit.

You will also see eggs floating around in front of the lens afterwards.
