Kenya tree.. polyp bail out? Or…

[ItouchedThebutt]

So I have a mature, what I’m assuming Kenya tree. Tbh it’s a leather coral to me. But it’s been super happy ever since I had it, grew like a week and now it’s acting strange all while still looking super happy.

It’s like bubbling up some growths? On its branches and one even dropped. I know leathers tend to reproduce by just dropping little clumps like toad stools but just find it odd only a few branch’s are swelling up like balloons. Specifically the last maybe inch or less of some.

Picked up the guy that did drop and it was already trying to attach to glass so imo the thing is healthy and not dying or trying to bail out but am I wrong?

It’s Alittle mad cause I just did a WC and was touching it but here’s a better photo of the “growth”

 

[Science/G]

It's budding, asexual reproduction. It is a Nephthea Tree Coral. They do this often

I figured as much just never had a coral like this one. Cool. Thank you!
