[Brenden]

If you are talking about the thing behind the torch to the left of the zoas it looks like a majano to me?

 

[spongebob lover]

[Brenden]

[spongebob lover]

if it is a Euphylliid, there is precedant for asexual planulation of family members in aquaria.

[Herefishyfishy]

He is saying congradulations on the babies

 

[Anthony Calfo]

Doh! Sorry toolie (and thanks Herefishyfishy)

translation: NO... nothing to worry about here. Yes... it does appear to be a species of "Hammer/Torch/Octopus" type coral. And it has been recorded that related corals from this group have reproduced in aquaria asexually (alone, shall we say) by "budding" so to speak.
