frogspawn breaking off?

[markietan]

i have a healthy nice green frogspawn that opens up real big in the day.. today while cleaning the tank, i shifted it a little because a small piece of zoo dropped behind it. then i accidentally dropped the frogspawn and 1 part of the coral flesh actually 'broke'. then the coral flesh was blown by the current into the liverocks and cannot be found..

this is not the first time it happened, my sister told me she've seen small pieces of frogspawn broken off from the main coral flesh... is that normal ?

You might be experiencing Polyp Bail-Out where the soft tissue of the polyp detaches from the coral skeleton.

Notice this happening with the Poccis (SPS) in my reef.

Read that its some form of asexual reproduction and it might be stress induced..

I'm currently monitoring my reef to see if there might be miniature colonies of poccis forming from the bail-out process..
