10 February 2011
How do you go about finding a mate if you can't go and look for one? This is the problem corals, which are rooted to the seabed, have found a spectacular way to solve - mass spawning.

In this Special podcast, Sarah Castor-Perry finds the answers to these questions and more from James Guest of the National University of Singapore.
