    Default successful pocillipora spawing event

    looking around the tank the past couple days i have noticed many tiny pocciliporas popping up all over one half of my tank. the count is over 20 and im sure when the light turn on more today i can find a lot more too. so far they range in size from smaller than a pencil eraser ( about 1/2 the size) to just larger than a dime. they seem to be growing really fast too. ill post pics when i get home from the dentist.

    Very nice! I've had that happen before too. My understanding is that it from a few polyps bailing from the colony and settling rather than sexual reproduction. Either way it is a sign that the coral is doing well.

    Mine has done the same thing. Kinda cool to see them in places you would never expect it. One is growing on my back overflow.
