[Coral-List] This year's coral spawn settling

[MelissaE Keyes]

Hello all,

Here in the US Virgin Islands, we've had two very harsh surf events from two 
hurricanes that went by to the North, without a direct hit.  Much of the algae 
was ripped off the reef.

I am wondering if the time of settlement of this year's coral spawn in the 
Caribbean has passed.  I am hoping not, and also hoping that the sea needn't be 
terribly calm, as the Sea/Ocean has continued to be quite rough.  Does anyone 
know?  I realize this is a variable.

Cheers,

Melissa
