Reefvid.org Coral orgy in the Palau Sea Reefvid.org image:39292:1::0

They come in colours everywhere, oh it's so rare. Ok, these Pacific coral only actually cum in the waters around the island archipelago that makes up the Republic of Palau but the mass spawning of coral is a rarely seen sight. Which is why a team of British, New Zealand and Palau scientists went to coral sex ground zero to bring us back a sex tape guaranteed to make us forget Paris Hilton's pallid effort. I c'mon, only one guy?

Check this, when coral get together to do the salty, they show up in their millions.
By the light of April's full moon on Sunday or, quite likely a night or two after, corals will be mating en masse. Its hard to pin down the time as coral foreplay has to do with water temperatures and tides Despite their crusty exteriors, for the coral to cum, there must be foreplay.

Along the length of Palau , millions of coral colonies will simultaneously release billion upon billion of eggs and sperm into the dark waters. An hour or so after sunset, each spawning coral will discharge showers of sex cells, packaged in pulsating blobs in hot shade of orange, peach and pink.. They rise to the surface in such huge numbers they can form oily slicks metres long. If the sea conditions are right, spawn slicks can coalesce to be large enough to be visible from space.

Once on the surface, the packages burst open, liberating eggs and sperm for fertilisation.

Countless free-swimming coral larvae then develop and three or four days later, the toughest of the survivors make it down to the sea bed. If they f8nd a suitable hard surface to attach to before becoming fish food,the next generation of corals on the reefs are launched.
So after all that wild sex, at the end of it the coral create enduing rock solid relationships called reefs.

This year, the spawn was predicted to be so large that the scientific team had come to Palau to take advantage of this wonder of nature in the cause of coral reef restoration.

The scientists are there to investigate the potential of an experimental technique known as coral seeding, collecting some of the spawn from mass mating events and using it to promote the growth of new corals on reefs in need of rescue.

Early Sunday with the moon at its peak, the zoologists were gobsmacked and the locals shrugged when the coral came through right on time.Can't be late for the hot date, right? On this occasion, the dominant colour was pink and the billions of sperm and egg sacs turned the sea around the reefs to a sexy pink fish soup, pulsing wit life, giving the scientists an astonishing range of reseeding samples to choose from.

The answer will emerge in the next 12 months following this week's frenzy of mass reproduction on the reefs of Palau.
