Can't seem to get any concrete info on this, so will settle for anecdotal! Will be on Grand Cayman JUST before the full moon in November (21st) - are there any corals that make that their 'showtime'? I've seen posts for other Fall months dating back several years, so I know they spawn sometime! Any hints appreciated.
 
From what I've seen on spawning dates, they apparently happen in the late August / early September timeframe. As such, I'd expect November to be way too late.

However, a night dive on a full moon still ain't bad :D

Spawning began on the 29th, there was more last night and the rest expected tonight. Usually occurs a few days after the full moon of Aug/Sep
