Watch coral spawning in the Caymans

http://teens4oceans.org/index.php/cayman-islands-reef-monitoring-webcam/

There was some coral spawning activity earlier, but the fish are still going nuts over all the zooplankton attracted to the lights..

*eta: And of course right as I post this, someone starts monkeying with the camera (it appears to be a remote pan/tilt/zoom).

The camera is pointed at a boulder coral head right now, and you can see reef fishes hovering over it as the small wrasses pick off parasites from them.
