Is my Frogspawn Propagating ??

I have noticed 5 or so small species growing on my live rock which appears to be new Frogspawn (shown in picture below). The rock has been in the tank for almost a year but this new growth appeared recently. I have a large Frogspawn in the tank but not directly adjacent to this. Does it appear from the picture to be Frogspawn and is this type of propagation typical? Thanks.

It definately looks like euphyllia of some sort :) Congrats.
I'm not sure how normal this is. I read an article that stated that sometimes tentacles would come loose and plant themselves at other places in the tank and the thought was that it was a form of reproduction. Did you notice anything like that?
Good luck!
 
document this carefully. in Eric Bornemans book he says that tentacles can and will occasionally break off. it is thought that it could be for the purposes of reproduction, but at the time of the printing it hadnt been documented. you may have something really special there. nice!
