Euphyllia dropping single polyps?

[TheDragonsReef]

I have a few large hammer colonies and for the past week ive seen a few random single polyps/tentacles floating in the water column. I immediately started worrying id be losing one of my colonies so i went and checked each one over, blowing them with a turkey baster to see if i could find any loose heads and nothing. They all appear perfectly healthy even the tiny heads in the shade arent showing any skeleton. I have no idea where theyre coming from and they continue to show up randomly. No fish or inverts have been added in the last year, none have ever been caught nipping either so i dont think they were ripped off.

Is this some form of propagation? I do see 2 that have clung to a surface for the past 2 days. Im just really thrown off by this cause ive had the colonies theyre coming from for something like 6 years and theyve never done this before. Only times ive seen anything similar is during polyp bailout but that usually drops a full head and is very noticeable on the coral.

I think I remember seeing that this was a form of reproduction, though I only remember my wall hammer doing it before getting bjd.

I have a frogspawn that did cross-tank attacks by sending out stingers that were shaped so they would catch the water flow and twist. They would keep twisting to the point it would tie off like a balloon and then break off, floating around the tank until it hits another coral or gets stuck somewhere

That's crazy haha my green hammers which are the ones in question hardly ever put out sweepers. My blue wall hammer wont let anything near it though
