My Kole Tang was hiding between some rocks today lightly disturbing the sandbed and while I was checking it out visually it spawned!! It was kinda creepy because I felt it was something I wasn't supposed to see. Has anyone else seen this in their tanks?

That is amazing. Happy lil guy. You've met all of it's needs. Kudos!

Do you have more then one tang in the tank? They normally do it together when the lights are out and it happens high in the tank and not on the sand bed.

Unfortunately it happened so fast and I was so stunned that I didn't have time to take a pic before the MP40 took care of it.

 

I got this Kole Tang a few days ago from the LPS the day in came in from their supplier so maybe it was primed and ready, happened to land in my tank and had to release.

 

This is how it went down. Steveoulaw was passing by in his car playing Barry White really loudly as I was watching this fish messing with the sand between a few rocks. All of a sudden I saw what looked like massive streams of denser water with a cloudy center coming up through the rocks from the exact space where the Tang was hanging. I can't be sure if they were eggs or sperm as I don't have enough experience with fish porn. Sea urchins yes. The insane flow in my tank dissipated it quickly and a few seconds later the Tang was out swimming again. It all happened so fast...so it's probably a male releasing sperm, or so I hear.

So you didn't actually see it coming out of the fish? I think what you saw was the fine detritus and sand that the fish stirred up.

Hmmm, sounds a little fishy to me. Maybe it has a problem. Too excited? PE?

I didn't but I had enough of a view to know there was no where else it could have originated from. It wasn't fine detritus and sand. I know this tank really well. I admit there could have been a snail there that spawned but I couldn't see any.
