This was an amazing spectacle to behold!
A mass release of gametes of the sponge Neofibularia nolitangere occurred simultaneously along the leeward coast of Bonaire the afternoon of 04 October. There is a strong correlation between the lunar cycle and the timing of gamete release, which begins on the third day after the full moon.
