we've had alot of corals spawn in our tank. We actually have had a frogspawn spawn and we thought it would never be a successful spawn, however, we did find a few frogspawn polyps on that same tank month later. They were very very small and were about the size of a pencil eraser. Blue cloves and plate corals also spawned but we never had mini colonies develop...
Blasto. Colonies spawed in my tank last night

Dre, all I can think of is an earlier post by you where you stated something along the lines of "while I should be out looking for a suitable partner for reproduction" or something close to that...and your corals found suitable mates before you??? Seriously though, congrats dude...only an astute reef lover would be awake that late at night and notice a "mist" in their tank

Not that it isn't exciting every time we see it but spawning events in captivity (in my experience) are normally triggered by stress and rarely from everything being "just right". It's survival instinct, the coral realizes that something is wrong and in an effort to secure it's legacy, so to speak, it spawns like the death star realeasing escape pods in the hope that some will make it out alive and continue the blood line.
Stressors can be anything from a swing in temp or PH or salinity, etc. Possibly, even changes in light cycles. Odds are most will not make it in the tank and you will get a small handful popping up down the line. Good luck.

Annual spawning is a product of millions of years of evolution. The corals that got the timing right got to proliferate the species and those that didn't, eventually dwindled until they were gone (the price for missing the party).
