    lol, thats crazy. I also have a trumpet frag just like that with hydroids just starting to pop up... went from about 5 of them to 15 of them in about 3 weeks... However even though the frag is plugged right into my larger LR, the hydroids dont seem to want to spread to the other rock around it.... it just stays on the frag rock.

    I picked most of them off with tweezers last week, and yesterday I got a few stragglers I missed before. We'll see if they come back.

    Make sure you look for them elsewhere as they may have spread to other rock/corals.
