SuncrestReef Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Is my torch coral spawning? I noticed it discharging a stream of cloudy water, so I turned off my powerheads to get a better look. Check out this video: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 These little eruptions confused me for a long time until I saw what was actually doing it. In my tanks case it's usually a bristle worm that has emerged under or inbetween the coral heads and is spewing it's reproductive stuff into the water column. Plenty of corals reproduce sexually too though so maybe it is the torch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It looks like babies, but corals are weird. Who knows, except when you see new babies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Very cool! Looks like spawning. I’ve had bristle stars produce an excretion like that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
