    So this past week I purchases a pipe organ coral. It is my first polyp in awhile. However today I noticed a small colony of polyps growing on a separate rock about 6 inches away and higher. I've attached a picture, I know it isn't very clear but is this possibly a small piece that broke off or a random new coral? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    They look like Daisy polyps.

    Can they sprout on their own? I've never had Daisy polyps in my tank.

    If they were on the rock at one time it is possible.
