I've had this piece coming up on 7 years. It's had ups and downs and has grown a bit. I was looking at it tonight and saw this little growth with tentacles and a mouth. I think it's a baby but I don't remember seeing this before. Maybe a parasite?
Pectinia baby or something else?

What a gorgeous colony.
The bud looks like it might have a skeletal structure. I would take the wait and watch path.
Physically it doesn't look like a parasite.

I don't know how closely the polyp resembles the Pectinia polyps, but I've had a couple corals reproduce through budding that looked sort of like that. Here's a Favia of the Gods budding just before it detached.
