    I have a purple Blastomussa. I got it with 4 heads and I think I see 6 now.


    I'm wondering if the heads split or if it spawns new heads. That is, does it reproduce like an anemone or like a zoa.

    They sprout new heads.

    Then I definitely see 6! WOO HOO! If it split, I couldn't figure out what I was looking at. Since it's sprouting new ones, that makes sense to what I see. The angle is horrible or I'd do a pic.
