Join our Reefscapers coral biologists on their scientifically fascinating and colourful journey! 🧡
Our teams have experienced a busy few months researching coral spawning here in the Maldives. Take a closer look at our unique macro photographs, and read how we collected coral eggs from our frames, to successfully grow coral polyps in our laboratory aquarium.
What a month it has been! I have spent most of my time in the water, monitoring hundreds of coral frames around the island, and leading snorkel trips with guests. 🤿
Then there’s the seasonal coral spawning: tagging, gamete checks, checking for bundling, and literature research on spawning cues (tides, sunset, moonrise, temperature, etc). And then finally… the amazing spawning events themselves! 🧡🟠

Read all about this year’s mass coral spawning event! Enjoy our detailed report, complete with unique photos and video, coming to you directly from our coral experts at Kuda Huraa and Landaa Giraavaru.
After careful experimentation and several sleepless nights, we have successfully grown tiny polyps of Acropora species in our Fish Lab! 🧡
Our Reefscapers teams had a very busy April, with over 100 new coral frames added to our lagoons !
Take a unique look at how our ‘Moon Reef’ is growing, from both high in the sky and beneath the waves, and read about how the warm sea temperatures can affect the corals.
We were lucky to observe our second coral spawning event of the year, and we investigate marine biodiversity. Join us as we take a detailed look at the sea creatures that have taken up home in our coral frames … prepare to be amazed at the number and diversity of species that we found !
Did you see the coral spawning this month ? Did you wonder what the strange red substance was, floating in the lagoon a few days ago ? Smell anything fishy, recently ?
Learn all about this unique annual event, and see our photos from this month and previous years.
We’re approaching that time of year again here in the Maldives for the annual coral mass spawning event – an incredible natural phenomena that will see millions of corals simultaneously release their sperm and eggs into the water.
UPDATES for April – the spawning event proved to be somewhat different to last year.
