Hey guys,
recently I've been noticing more and more tiny torch babies showing up. I've tried to take some pictures with my phone. I've found some other pictures of baby torches in the internet but no real explanation of how and why this happens. Does anyone know how they reproduce and what conditions might trigger this? It's my first tank and up for about 1 year. When I spotted the first ones my lfs/coral dealer recommending removing them since he thought they'd be aiptasia because torches wouldn't be able to reproduce in a tank according to him. Now the babies are growing randomly all over the tank:
Mama coral with two babies
exact opposite side of the tank, very low light
right beneath the surface, high light
more next to Mama coral
and the largest one so far
Cheers,
Tim
