Has anyone seen a frog or octospawn do this? I posted it on my local Facebook reef page and they suggested it’s “splitting” but I don’t think so... I’ve seen heads grow on similar types of LPS in my tank and it looks nothing like it.

This is what my hammer looks like when it spawns new heads

I've see my son's do that. It will go away. Just eating.

When my euphyllia do this, they typically split a head.

It starts at the bubble, then you'll see a clear division, then suddenly the bubble will deflate and you'll see 2 mouths forming where the bubble was.

Yes they typically split differently, but I have seen them split heads in this manner also.

Well that’s reassuring, thank you. I think my concern is how long it’s been. Probably a month and a half?
