![]() They're easy to deal with. I have a pocillopora problem that's getting a bit silly, and I'm not sure I can find something to eat it

![]() It's not bad to have as a colony, mine is an awesome piece, but once they reach a certain size, they'll spawn and you end up with new buds growing everywhere. I can count about 60 new ones growing on all my rock, under other corals, etc. I have to use my pruning cutters and snip them off, which is a big job

![]() I don't harvest from my Pocillopora mother colony when I create new frags. I chip them off of the rocks... Has anyone ever observed the actual spawning event? I've read that they're self fertilizing but it would be pretty cool to watch when the colony releases. The closest I've come to seeing a coral spawn was when my anemone did it for a few nights in the spring of 2009.
So far I've just left these ones alone. They magically began to grow on my return plumbing at the top of the tank. ![]() ![]()

![]() it was neat at first when mine started to do it, but then it just becomes a pain.. harder than coraline algae to get off pumps glass ect.. and the worst is when you buy that new coral for that perfect spot you have been saving.. you go to put it in and there is a 2" suprise coral there all of a sudden....
![]() as for seeing an event. ya I saw a couple in my old tank, I think there are some videos on u-tube of some one elses going. hard to see but tons of tiny spores floating out and attaching somewhere else. Steve
