    I came home today and noticed my torch wasn't fully extended and had that coming out of it. I've got a pair of picasso's but they never hang around the torch. I don't know what else that could be but them spawning, can somebody confirm this. For all I know the torch could be extruding some weird waste.

    It does look like eggs of some sort.

    David told me he thought it was actually the torch spawning. I looked it up and sure enough seems like that's what it is.

    Yep. Clown eggs are orange and are stuck to a rock.

    That's cool. Do torch spawn when stressed like some other corals do?

    Thanks a lot Doc, here I was thinking it was spawning because it's really happy. Now I'm thinking it's about to die and hopes to reproduce before the end. :)
