Must love dogs. It is all good.

Cool that you captured it.

Not sure if it would help but maybe post some details or whatever you know, type, has it happened before, just luck / chance you ran across it, etc. @Thales dose this sort of stuff for a living and maybe some if it may be new or not. Don't know but cool. Tells you you are doing something right!

It would be interesting if you could capture some of them and start new colony’s from the spawn.

Cheers! Mark

It's never done this before TBH. I'm not 100% what type of acropora but I'll defo find out.
I'll try and get some more details up soon regarding my system, stock and how I usually do things.

Yeah I was truly amazed :)
Not sure about them being fertilised TBH I was caught in the amazement of actually seeing it spawn lol

Do you mind posting your tank parameters, feeding protocol, maintenance regimen and lighting schedule?

Just the fact that they spawned is amazing, thanks for sharing, we don’t see this often in the hobby, I’ve read once that the moon is a big factor on this event, Am Really curious to know do if you have moon setting on your tank.

I don't run any moon setting on my tank at all. I don't even run anything special TBH. I'm actually a lazy reefer lol

Not that lazy, I had the pleasure to see your stunning tank a few times wile I was collecting coral of you :) last night was the waxing crescent moon phase probably worth adding this info to your thread as readers may like to add information on this awesome event.

Is the tank next to a window or something? I bet the moon has something to do with it

It is but the window is always covered with blinds. That and the moon is never visable where the window is. The moon is only ever visable at the back of the house.

Congratulations! That's not something everyone can do in their tanks. You must be doing something right.
