After all, tides happen twice a day. Coral eggs and sperm meet because they are released at the same time, once a year, based on the full moon and water temperature. So I think "full moon" is a better answer. If you need a cite: "Full moon – the timing of mass coral spawning is linked to the lunar cycle, happening after the full moon and when water temperatures rise sufficiently to stimulate the process" https://www.barrierreef.org/the-reef/the-facts/creature-features/coral-spawning -- Dan Tilque |

Interesting and correct (at least for some species of corals, but they're the ones whose reproduction is extraterrestrially influenced). Apparently the original answer (which, by the way, was also my guess at the original game) was just wrong. Sorry, I had no idea. 4 for Dan Tilque and Calvin only, then.
