Leather Toadstool

[marcor12]

Do Toadstools propagate on there own?....


The 2 spots are healing fine...but it seems like the spots are detaching from the body....right at the folds when it closes...the percs are always messing with it (hosting) but I don't think they're causing it....1 spot is barely holding on...I was going to wait till it detaches and lay it on a piece of rubble to see if it will attach and grow...thxs
Water parameters are fine and my RTBA just split too and wandering...

Yes, those two pieces will eventually break off and try to attach to another rock. It looks irritated from the clown rubbing it.

Yes, they clone like that. Commonly, called "budding".

Interesting. My RTA split last night, too. Something in the water?

 

[marcor12]

Phew....I keep looking to see if anything is irritating it (pests)....nothing....yes the clowns are always in it...love to watch. I've actually have caught on of them laying on there side in it
Now my question is ....should I wait till it detaches or cut off the "bud" ?
thxs guys...

If you want to control where it goes, cut it off before it detaches. These corals are pretty durable, you can hack them up and each piece will have a good chance at regenerating in to a complete coral.

It's ok to cut it. Then push a toothpick through it and glue or band the toothpick to a piece of rubble and within a month you'll have a new sacrophtyon.
