Description:

Many reef invertebrates reproduce through simultaneous broadcast spawning, with an apparent advantage of overwhelming potential predators and maximizing propagule survival. Although reef fish have been observed to consume coral gamete bundles during spawning events, there are few records of such predation by benthic inverte - brates. Here, we document several instances of the ruby brittle star, Ophioderma rubi - cundum , capturing and consuming egg- sperm bundles of the mountainous star coral,
