Question about Trumpet Coral

[AUfishguy]

I have a green trumpet coral with about 7-8 heads. 2 of the heads which are on the same brach seem to be growing pretty quickly but they are growing out and down. They keep growing closer and closer to the substrate. I will add pictures this evening when i get home but is this normal, should i frag these to stop them from growing into the substrate?

This is the backside and the smaller head.

No. The coral is growing just fine. It looks very healthy as well.

Agreed, i guess you can angle the plug into sand to give it more clearance. It will branch and like a tree will adjust its growth.
