Elegance Babies

[miareefer]

Guess whos a father again?
Yep last night my big mother cat shed the first of its babies . I posted a few pics about this about a month ago and no-one was really sure what was really happening except for Minh he backed my possible theory. I asked the guru Eric on RC and he said it was possible but wasnt completely convinced this was happening .I am lead to believe after many hours of research that this is a uncommon happening in enclosed aquaria. I have only been able to find one thread on this happening but didnt have pics to validate.
Out of curiousity i think there has only been one case of one actually spawning in captivity that i am aware of and that was Kevinpo who gets around here on occasion.

Heres my mother colony and a couple of pics of my baby. Just remember you saw them on Reefland first.

Heres a pic taken the very next day you can tell how she expanded a little more and is on the way to looking great .So the big question thats on my mind is how long before she calcifys on to the rock and stays fixed forever.At the moment shes only sitting there and a little more extra current could move her.

Super Cool Mia!!!

I bet Eric would love a piece of your colony since so many other Elegance corals are failing so badly!!! Way to go!!!
