Was walking past the tank this afternoon, and my awesome metallic gold torch colony appeared to be releasing what I assume to be eggs from a couple of its mouths. Anyone ever seen this before? I took a couple bad pics from my iphone. If you look close you can see the eggs or whatever they are in the center of the pic.  Pic of whole colony  ------------- IM 30L Kessil A160we x2 |

Looks like it to me! However, the only coral I've ever had spawn (black sun coral) spawned at the same time as corals in the wild. I don't know if corals in captivity are able to spawn whenever based on local conditions or are still on their original clock. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

That is really coo l!!!!!, So when these corals spawn like this do you get new torches growing in the tank from the spawn? Being new to the hobby I am interested to know if corals can grow that way other then just sprouting new heads and expanding through splitting ?? ------------- Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift that's why they call it the present. |

Actually I think the picture is very cool.. it allows you to see it better with the blues in the background. Thanks for sharing.. very cool! Pam ------------- The only clowns I like are in my tank! |
