Toadstool offshoots

My toadstool has been climbing higher in my tank – about 2 months ago he leaned onto his side and attached his side to another rock and then began to dissolve his older footing. In total he climbed about 5 inches and left 5 babies in his wake – was nice to watch it happening and thought I would share. You can see three of the babies easily in the pictures – one just growing very quickly, the others lagging behind. The parent use to stand 12 inches tall, now he is maybe 6 as he still resides on his side. The head is about 8-9 inches and waves in the water beautifully – I hope you enjoy the pictures.

 

very cool, thanks for sharing, really nice TS. I also noticed my toadstool also has a little buddy under it, never even noticed it until a few days ago. It wasn't there when I got him, here's what it looked like:

 

Very nice!

 

When I got mine back in sept the foot on it was really long and now the end part is melting to a shorter foot, so is it trying to move? It looks healthy I thought it just needed a shorter leg.

 

Very Healthy I bet. They can and do move a little and often (if not every) leave bits of themselves behind to become a new animal. In years past I use to cut sections off of these corals in order to frag them. All you need is less than a dime sized portion - strap it to a rock with some nylons and they will grow. These are very hardy little buggers.
