Poll: Have you had coral Spawn in Your Tank?

[bblumberg]

Wondering if anyone has every noticed/experienced any corals spawning in their tank. Let us know. The poll is multiple choice. Would love to hear the details if you have had noticed spawning - coral type, lighting, major element numbers, etc. The more details the better.

Yes, Pocillopora damicornis EVERYWHERE in my tank now. I had two colonies that were stable for years. Then I moved into a bigger tank with T5/LED combo and Bluefish mini doing phases of the moon with the night lighting. Within a few months I had a hundred colonies here and there. I stopped the night lighting and the number seems relatively stable for the moment.

I just had my toadstool spawn and now I have little pieces of it in several places in the tank. My tank turned cloudy (milky white) and I could not figure out what happened because it was fine one minute and over night it was cloudy. Then when I have the blue lights on I saw all these little specs the same color as my toadstool on the rock and on the bottom of my tank. I got a UV sterilizer and within 4 days the tank was crystal clear again.

Going from year 1 into year 2 of me reefing I had a spawning and didnt know it, i remember going to my LFS saying I woke up and it looked like someone poured milk into my tank, I did a huge water change well little did I know I messed up!

That same thing happened to me but I did not do a water change

I believe I had a torch do it. I found this tiny little baby torch head, the size of a pea sitting in the sand one day. No clue where it came from.
