Which? There isn't a shot of motile sperm, so I want to know what looks like that! Thanks!

Oops! I was confused about the magnification and thought that was what was going on in the shot at ~2:10. Is that the larvae swimming?

Gotcha, yep those are Acropora hyacinthus larvae swimming. This species is really small!

Oh - this project would not be possible with the support from Neptune Systems and Ecotech Marine!

One more reason to support some of the companies involved with the hobby. Nice work, thanks for posting the video.
