Just saw my BTAs spawn ! I have around 10 BTA and just witnessed a spawning , there is white stuff everywhere (lol) tank is now cloudy , anything I should do to remove ? Or just let be and maybe replace carbon?
 
Didn’t get a pic while it’s happening , tank is all cloudy now , it looked like someone was injecting kalk paste from under the rocks lol it took a second for my brain to realize what’s happening , happend after I top offed with RO - I do it manually

Skimmer is your friend. Run a little wetter skim and increase surface agitation. I have never had an issue with it before and my corals seems to love the free food.
Sounds good, I figured it would mostly be free coral food I think I saw an anemone actually eat to lol hopefully some survive

Pretty good. Bta may ingest either the sperm or eggs and the pop out babies, they may start to pop up in the tank and then they split. Resilient little creatures that have found numerous ways to survive. My last spawn resulted in 6 babies all tiny that just showed up. One was on disk of another and that ones mouth was all puffy. Never actually seen them “spit” out babies, but plenty of papers out there on how tough the little buggers are.
