Night 6... Shockingly Spawntastic!

This update is somewhat delayed because we have been very busy raising lots of larvae!
We went out on again on night 6 (after the full moon) to Elbow Reef and Sand Island (with help from Evan D'allesandro of Univ Miami) and got a spawn from nearly every clone within our monitoring plots at Elbow and a few outside the plots. In all 7 to 8 different genets released anywhere from a small dribble to massive amounts of gametes.
The Sand Island group reported a vigorous spawn, much more than we have seen in the past. They were able to collect from 3 different colonies that were likely different genets (though we are not sure). Night 6 after the full moon is typically the first night that we begin to look for Montastraea faveolata spawn so after collecting bundles we hung around to have a look at Montastraea and the Elbow group did not see any bundles but the Sand Island team did.
