The Coral Spawning Lab has successfully spawned and raised the Elegance Coral, Catalaphyllia jardinei, for the first time in captivity. The corals spawned in October 2021 at the UK-based lab and approximately 100 juveniles have survived this far, to 11 months old. This marks yet another captive breeding success for the groundbreaking ex-situ coral conservation team headed up by Dr. Jamie Craggs of the Horniman Museum London, who mimic actual lunar phases and wild spawning events to induce spawning in captivity.
