New polyps on my duncans

I was looking at my duncans and noticed tiny little heads starting to sprout out from the edges of all my colonies. you have to look closely, but there are little slightly brownish heads developing at the base of many of the heads. I have only had these about two months now.

Nice duncans and I like the colors on yours! Not too surprised about new babies.....duncans grow like crazy. If they keep reproducing like that, your gonna have to start sharing the love with other reefers in Sac area and give some to us :D :D
 
The last two colonies got light shocked when I put them into my tanks. (250W halides can do that) They still dont have the polyp extension I would like to see, but I figure if they start growing new heads, I must be doing something right. This is what they should look like

They are coloring up nicely though and should regain their full polyp extension.

I actually think the one pictured above will get even brighter colored as it finishes acclimating to my tanks as well.

I fed them a slurry of shredded salmon blended fine enough to be sucked into a turkey baster. And Mysid shrimp. I try to feed them daily. Sometimes twice, sometimes I skip a day.
