This is the second time this guy has done this in a month.

All of the branches seem retracted. Here is a pic.

Do the clowns bother it by trying to host in it?

 

[jpc763]

No, they host the Paly's in the lower left corner. The BTA they were in, but seem to have lost interest in it.

Water flow?

Heads could be splitting.

So this happens when the heads split off? I have counted a couple of new heads and there are really small buds below the heads that look like they could grow into new heads if they got light.

As far as flow, the flow has not changed since adding the coral in August.

Thanks!

Well, the small ones below the large heads really won't affect the large head too much if at all. This usually happens when the larger heads split themselves.

The colony could also be expelling waste too. Lots of variables that can be taken into consideration, but overall, it looks good, just irritated.

So if I fragged off a piece to expose those buds would they grow into heads?
