Full Moon Sparks Huge Ocean Animal Party

Every November, under a full moon, corals in the ocean have a “date night” and release eggs to make new coral. This is also a time for clams, starfish, and other sea creatures to spawn, which helps keep the reef healthy. Scientists say this event, like a snowstorm underwater, is very important because it helps coral reefs stay strong and grow, making the ocean a better place for all sea life.
