Coral Spawning

Coral spawning is a natural reproductive process where corals release eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously, often during specific times of the year. This synchronized release increases the chances of fertilization and the development of new coral polyps. The process is usually triggered by environmental cues such as water temperature, moon phases, and tides. After fertilization, the resulting larvae settle on the reef substrate and grow into new corals, helping to maintain and restore healthy reef ecosystems. This event is vital for coral reproduction and the overall health of coral reef environments.
