My corals have struggled lately following a long battle with dinos but my inverts seem to be happy.

The first part of the video is one of my RFA (male) spawning 2 days ago. This makes 4 of my 5 RFA's confirmed males. I'm hoping the small yellow one on the sand bed is a female as it was the same size as the orange one on the right when I got them.

The second part of the video was taken after I came back inside after doing some yardwork to find my tank looking like skim milk. At least 10-12 trochus snails were spawning at the same time. I've raised quite a few trochus over the last year or two but I've never had a spawning event of this magnitude. At the end of the video you can see little white dots that I'm thinking are the trochus eggs? The "smoke" is obviously semen?

 
Yep “smoke” would be their seed. Very cool to catch this happening.
