Dendrophyllia Arbuscula spewing sperm and egg
I came home and noticed all my fish "hanging out" near my dendro coral so I looked to see what was going on. I realized the dendro was spewing egg/sperm into the water column and all the fish were eating it (or biting at it anyways). Ran and got this on my iphone. This was fairly continuous and was repeating itself every 5-10 minutes. I captured more it on my DSLR and will have a longer edited version later. http://youtu.be/LIaICuuyJ04 <iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LIaICuuyJ04" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
