a good reason is they are growing. a bad reason is they are rotting away.

if they are growing then the polyps are nicely rounded and firm... rather than rotten ones which are soft and well erm, rotten

definately not rotting. no smell, and it is firm. but i dunno why they drop off from the mother colony O.O isit they floating away to grow somewhere else?

I usually gather up these loose polyps and superglue them to a small LR. Can use for frags

haha. my loose polyps will float everywhere and stick to rock,sand, etc and open. so cute...but will float away again later.

Yeah, they will float around. Sometimes end up eaten and spat out by my anemone or super suns. Then they probably end up in some dead zone and start growing like weeds
