My Blue Tort Spawned!!

[Werdlone]

I have seen sps spawn on TV specials, but never in my own tank...until the other night. I decided to check my tank before going to bed and pulled out the flashlight. I saw all these little red things floating around. Looked like cyclopeze pellets. As I continued to look around the tank I found they were coming from my blue tort. I grabbed my iphone and shot some video. I know it is poor quality, but its the best I could do with a flashlight and a phone. It was around midnight wednesday night/thursday morning. Yes, it was a full moon.

Man can you say "very happy blue tort". Congrats if anything could tell a person they are keeping their sps happy, a "tort spawn" can't be beat.

what do you have for flow in that tank and do you turn the flow off at night? I have noticed this in my tank do they look like little marbles and have different colors almost glowing?

I witnessed a spawning of mini-brittle stars the other night. One of these mini-starts put a stream of eggs into the water about 8 pm (almost all the tank lights were still on) and before you knew it, there was at least 150 of these 2 inch buggers out everywhere! Very strange, especially since they are never out other than a limb or two poking from the live rock.
