[Coral-List] Acropora cervicornis spawning

[Eric Borneman]

Dear list:

During the 3rd SECORE workshop (www.secore.org), we checked on mature  
branches of A. cervicornis at Bajo Gallardo and from colonies in  
Rincon, Puerto Rico. There were no visible gametes in the polyps and  
no spawning was observed from Aug 3-9.

Best

Eric Borneman
