It is a wild colony I got from fishy business aquatics a while back. It’s already encrusted on its base.

No moonlight. Temp is set between 78-82F. Alk is 8. Ca 400 last measured. I don’t check any other parameter. SG 1.026.

My fish are fed once in the morning. No special coral food.

Excellent. Likely was collected gravid. Do you kno where it was collected?

Probably Tonga. I just checked again. I missed the actual release of the eggs. The eggs are all gone. Probably will end up in the sump.

Great. The spawning makes all kinds of sense. If only one colony spawned, there isn't anything you can do to fertilize the eggs, they don't self fertilize.
What time did you notice the eggs setting?

Shortly after lights out. I turned the light back on to take the pic.
