I'm not sure... It's always been that way in my tank. It's supposed to be UV rather than violet so that could make a difference.

 

[billyocean]

In all seriousness I think it's the best wavelength for photosynthesis or something smart like that

The BRS AB+ settings that I have modified to way less whites has UV and Violet the highest. I run mine at 116 UV/Violet, 88 Royal/Blue, 10 White

I know there's certain times corals spawn like clockwork...whether the moon is visible or not. I think it's more of a tidal thing at a certain time

It's a time and temperature thing... I studied that a lot when I got my first SBB order and Orange U spawned in my tank.

Whoa, uh, Can someone explain what spawning is in tenuis? This is the first time this newbie has heard of it.

They'll expel gametes out of every polyp that look like little white styrofoam bits. The gametes float to the top and mingle. If you have two different colonies from the same area they'll spawn at the same time, once they settle, you move your most densely colored coral with the settled polyps so they can 'borrow' the symbodinium from the existing frag.

Different areas have different spawning times. Orange U spawned December 14th. 2022, indicating an origin in either southern indonesia or the north end of the great barrier reef.

I was kinda referring to fish spawning... but yeah coral would as well lol

I had read somewhere someone able to induce clown fish spawning with their moonlight schedule.
