My funky growing Space Invader Pectinia

[HB AL]

Just wondering if anybody has a Space Invader that grows like mine does and if you ever see it inflate like the pics and do what I believe it's doing, pooping? 1st pic is how it's growing and looking in it's normal state and the other ones what it does around once a month or so. Its around the size of a tennis ball.

I got one a week ago and I haven’t seen any of that .

I've had this guy for a couple years when it was a 1 eyed frag and in the last 6 months has been growing quicker than ever and thats around how long ago it started relieving itself.

Funny thing is I don't even feed the corals, except whatever they get when I feed all the savages!

All those triggers and no eaters of coral?

Not really as you can see, the Clown trigger on occasion will bite one here and there but not to eat it.

How has that eel not accidentally taken a chunk out of any of those fish? That's wild! You could lose a limb in that tank. ;-)

That is just a weird coral. Never seen one grow like that. Looks like individual heads.

My lfs wants to buy it, they couldn't explain it either, was wondering if anyone else had one that grew like that and pooped like that as I'm sure a ton of members have space invaders. My other pectinia although different grows and acts normal.

Are you positive that's a pectina?

100%, saw the colony it was fragged from. Here's a short vid with its sweepers out.
