Hi there....

Anyone of you come across where the tentacles tips breaks off and flow in the tank?

This only happened in the night time....where you will able to see few of them in the tank...

What could be the cause?

Many hobbyists have reported seeing the tentacles tips of Euphyllia to break off to be carry by the current to settle on other substrate. This is believed a form of asexual reproduction that is unique to this genre.

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.
