Hawkins Spawning

I wanted to look at my tank after the normal photoperiod and I think I caught my ORA Hawkins spawning. Sorry about the video quality, can’t figure out how to upload in higher resolution.

Wow.. this is a very rare event. I am seeing this first time.

Yup it’s spawning ! I had an acro do the same thing and it’s an amazing sight to see.

Very cool! A good reminder to check the tank at different times of day, they are a 24hr wonder.

It was really fascinating to watch! Plus the fish got a nice treat!

About 10 years ago I had 2 tenius colonies and a red stag horn all spawn. It was insane it looked like an inverted snow globe with pink snowflakes. I’ll have to dig up the video off an old iPhone. The Anthias were certainly pigging out that night. Btw this was in a well established 90 gallon and were all Maricultured corals. I still have the tenius to this day.

I hope you find it, would love to see it!

Thanks! I’m not a huge fish guy, but one of my favorite SPS tanks was filled with only damsels. They’re cheap, hardy, and super active.......but can also be ******s from time to time.
