    I have had this coral in my tank for about a year and a half without any issues. It started out as 3 heads and has grown a lot since I first got it. Now it is doing something I have never seen before. I dont know if it has something or what, but this "growth" is connected to 3 if not four heads. I is not splitting the way the others have split. It still opens at night for its feeding and the color is good. I was just wondering if anyone has seen something like this? Or if you can think of a question that may help figure out what it is, I would be happy to answer. Do I need to remove the heads that are all connected like this? It has gotten bigger in the last few days.

    I would keep watching it. It looks like it's possibly splitting.

    I had trumpet do that it was because the head was splitting.

    I have seen the heads split before and this looks different. I have seen 1 head split into two, but this is 4 heads connected by this bulbous mass. You guys dont seem worried and say its just splitting so I will just keep an eye it.
    Thanks
