As long as the tissue on the animal is not powdery or grey in colour I am sure it will be ok. How is your other sacrophyton and corals?

[chrisgregg]

there all fine and very happy showing good polyp extension and are wide spread and mushroom getting wider every day :D but i just wondered why it split a pice off nothing wrong with it and the pice seems to keep it colour will try and post a pic ...

[chris@bluzoo]

I have not heard of this before nor seen it, so I am curious myself:confused:
kind regards Chris

Just sounds to me as it has budded off to form another colony. Its a good sign that its healthy :)

As long as it is a healthy coral, the stump should turn into another toadstool.

I had that happen several times on one i had a few years back. main parent would grow up till it was touching water surface then lean to one side or the other till it was touching LR. it then attached where it touched and split off the old base which then grew into a new colony.
ended up with about seven of them all different sizes:D
great for swaps.;)
