spawns in my tank :D :D

[christianscorals]

Happy to see that my Pocillopora Damicornis has spawned in my cube. Although this species is known to spawn a lot, it’s cool to have had it happen in my small tank. Interesting but logical to see the eggs were able to settle on one of the coralline-filled glass walls, near the surface level and above insane flow near my gyre. Will have to see if any other eggs landed elsewhere

Not eggs, but parthenogenic larvae (I hope I spelllled that rite?)

Still, very cool to have these new coral colonies popping up in the captive environment!

well, this coral can be a pest.
Ive seen tanks full of little pocillos everywhere

Its cool, but your gonna regret this in a few months. Ditch this coral asap, or you'll see little growths of Pocillos everywhere.

i’ve had it a little over 2 years. all good, not much space to settle other than that glass anyway

I grew a colony to the size of a small softball. Never had an issue with it multiplying. Then I cut it out because it was creating too much shade and it was prime real estate for some acros.
Now to put it bluntly, I have more Pocillopora growth in my tank than I have Aptasia. It is the GSP of SPS...
But yes, It is cool when it first happens...
