Hi all. I need a bit of advice, my torch coral is splitting which of course is a good thing, but rather than splitting from 1 polyp into 2 it has actually split from 1 polyp into 3 which i havent seen before. My issue... or more to the point my question is that it now has its skeleton showing, i.e no flesh all the way round any of the 3 heads. The colony is perfectly healthy but was wondering if it is normal when they split into 3 to show that much skeleton after and will it heal? Many thanks.

Definitely not normal, look more like polyp bail out, watch your nutrients no3/po4 and flow

I know it looks like polyp bailout but it is still in the process of splitting. If it gets worse ill frag it and see what happens.
