Hey Everyone,

Been lurking round these parts for a while, i'm from Reef Culture Zoa Swap Forum! Anyway, long story short! Hi from England!

So i have some Captain america's that this evening seem to have decided to spawn, i was wondering if anyone over here has any experience or can confirm that is even what's happening! I have some semi shoddy pictures as it was a grab your camera moment so i havn't had chance to set the white balance nor set the tripod up so these are as good as it gets! They are all pushing these little sacks of white ball/eggs out.

Any advice is more than welcome!

I have also captured a small amount in a pot floating in a pot :)

There is also a rather rubbish video being uploaded too!

So who can tell me if this means i'm doing something right, or even that it's all about to implode!

correct link to videao this time, can a mod either replace my link in the op or remove it please :)
 
Wow, that's awesome! Looks like spawning to me.

Better do something about that bryopsis before it takes over though ;)
 
My halloweens usually deal with the bryopsys, the frags slightly inaccessible to them ATM thou Hence the Afro :) I just hope the gametes are viable, the amount of eggs released will leave me about 1000 captain Americas!
 
As an update the ones I captured in a pot disintegrated over 36 hours and where not viable!
 
Peroxide mixed with tank water will kill that byprosis dead, and will have no ill affects on the polyps.
And that is super cool!

Yeah I was going to either do that or get some mag to dose, I pulled most of it off the other night!
 
Too weird, my Captain Aerica Palys spawned about two weeks ago setting off a spawn of my Acans as well. The Palys spawned early in the day and the Acans followed up about fee hours later.
