Acropora spawning

[Alina Szmant]

We did observe Acropora palmata spawning the night of Aug. 2nd, with bundle 
formation from ca. 10 pm to 10:45 pm, and bundle release for ca. 30 after 
that.   The night of Aug. 3rd we some spawning but very minor compared to 
the nite before.  We welcome learning of observations by others, especially 
whether anyone observed spawning by this species on Aug. 1st.
