    Check this out! My girlfriend got these pics today while I was at work. I wish I had gotten to see it, but I'm happy she got the pics. My Melanurus Wrasse and Diamond Goby ate most of the eggs she said. I am hoping they at all of them personally. I don't need it spreading anymore. I found this article if you want to check it out.Reproduction in Aquarium Corals: Part II by Eric Borneman - Reefkeeping.com

    It is super cool, and scary at the same time.


    hahahaha, yes I am sure once they pass the eggs, they will somehow grow somewhere in the tank.

    Those photos are trippy.

    Learn something knew every day. I also thought they only reproduced by growing new mat.

    Cool, you must take care of it and keep it well nourished :) Coral spawning in our systems is unfortunately fairly rare. Awesome your girlfriend thought to take pics!

    Awesome! Give a big high five to the gf for catching the action and getting those pics! I always thought the mat just grew as well.
