    I have about 4 "baby" pocilloporas in my tank as well. I had no idea that they could spawn successfully in our tanks. I only wish I could have witnessed the spawning event itself!

    Very Cool Event! Just don't let them get out of control b/c they have a very strong sting.

    If your talking about the little white thing that kinda looks like a little feather duster. I have tons of these little things in my tank way before I got any coral, so I think they are feather dusters. I also have even more little pineapple sponges growing all over my live rock.

    She is well behaved... She occasionally perches on them but that us only for a few minutes at a time. She actually will swim to your hand and does not mind being touched, so I don't know if that has any effect on her behavior?

    An update:
    The growth on this is actually quite suprising! I can now see a small calcium projection with polyps on it. There are about 25-30 polyps on it now (as compared to 7 when I posted this thread)

    Those usually pop up in the beginning stages of a tank. This is the very small brown and green polyps on the edge of the doughnut.
