Wild guess is that no updates means not baby scolymias...

In post #4 you can see tissue spreading from each head, they didn't have a skeleton, and close like a zoa. Scolys don't close like that. I think they were just zoas

Well the OP was last active on 4/30/2013, but didn't update thread.
My guess is the coral didn't survive.
I still say they were scoly babies though.

 

[AkoAung]

yeah I second that. definitely babies.

This is a different sp. of scolymia but still a scolymia, so the reproduction patterns should be similar if not the same.

that's a meat coral (acantophyllia deshayesiana), completely different from scolymia sp.

it was mis-classed as scolymia for years, but was recently updated.

However, everyone and their mother still (incorrectly) calls them scolys or donut corals.

this is an old thread but a cool read. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

I wish the OP had given us the end of the story, whatever the ending was.

I have the same thing going on right now with a Trachy. Watched it grow from .5mm or so to about 2.0-2.5mm.
