For a few days, most of this encrusting gorgonian has looked shriveled up.
I suspected my fish were bumping into it, and thought nothing of it. Then today I see these spheres engangled in it, and the current blowing them around.
I know my fish all tasted them as they blew around the tank, and spit them out. So I was thinking it was excrement of some sort. But it's an odd color for
poo

.
Are these some kind of 'egg'?
I've seen video of corals releasing 'clouds' of sperm and eggs, but nothing this large.

DAD!)
