Innoqua is a start-up company in Japan established in 2019 to accelerate aquatic organism research. Right now, we do not know when coral exporting countries might stop shipping corals based on any reasons such as political, environmental concerns and others. It is very critical for the marine aquarium industry to sustainably provide corals for hobbyists which will require a number of different solutions.
Aquarists can occasionally see the coral spawning in their closed system, but it is not controlled by the system, it’s more of happenstance but Innoqua has researched how they can manipulate coral spawning in the aquarium. In Japan, corals are spawning once year around June but what Innoqua achieved is to make Montipora digitata spawn in winter by controlling the water temperature.
The Montipora coral they used in this experiment has been in their tank more than three years in which time it was become well adjusted to their tank environment and seasons. You can see below how they executed this experiment.
