Coral Spawn
Here's a pic of one of two of my gorgs that spawned. I feel very fortunate to have witnessed this in my tank. Just wanted to share it with you.

Congrads chief.
Can you go over a little on the tank conditions/environment when it occurred. What if any efforts did you try to make this happen. Great Job!

I keep her fed well, and hand feed her Angel Formula (sponge) cubes before feeding rest of the tank. I also feed all corals with chopped up bits of fresh seafood soaked in Selcon. Don't know if anything I've done or didn't do caused my gorgs to spawn, but two out of three did. Thousands of gametes were let loose in the tank. With any luck, I'll have a couple babies in a few months showing up. Thanks for your response!!!  |
