Orange eggs inside a neon green Kenya tree coral?

TravisOCREEF · Nov 11, 2023

The other night I noticed these orange dots inside of the coral. It’s a neon green kenya tree super big super healthy. Can’t find anything about it online. Has anybody seen this before? Looks like hundreds of eggs can only see it if you shine a light on it. Thanks!

I've been seeing these for a while, but noticed tons more recently. Inside the stalks, and even the frilly part of the polyps, there are these circular white balls. I thought it was sand, but the tank is bare bottom, and the little sand I can't get out for the life of me does not look even...
