Hey so my clove polyps have been spreading like wildfire lately, and recently I noticed at least one of them with more than the usual amount of tentacles (arms?)! I just thought this was really cool so I wanted to share. Is this common? I couldn’t find anything online about it, so I assume it isn’t. A picture of it is attached, with a normal one next to it for comparison.

I wonder if you cut out that 1 polyp and let it grow it may make more mutated ones? or have a higher chance of making mutated ones?

It seems quite small at the moment, if I leave it I’d be very very interested to see if I get even more of them!
