Default Coralspawn

Last night my green Monitora Digitata released thousands of tiny white eggs in to the water column.. This is my oldest sps colony (about 14 months old). I've fragged it, snapped it and moved it many times. It's been through thick and thin with me. Somehow it managed to spawn. I'm not sure what may have triggered it.. Recent changes have been the addition of my calcium reactor and a gradual addition in lighting. I have also been moving the colony around a lot lately.. I kind of neglect it to be honest. I had to trun the lights on to snap some pics of this rare event.


Overall view of the coral coral.


A closer shot of eggs exiting the coral polyps. This was likely near the end of the spawn. The water was full of white eggs minutes earlier.. Needless to say, my fish had a good feast!


Any insight on this occurence would be appreciated.
