My tank is about 7 months old, I got this Duncan a few months ago and it’s been very happily taking mysis shrimp out of water column every other day. I’d say it’s settled now. I think I am noticing my first buds. But three at once!! I am so excited I went and told everyone in my house.

Do these photos look like budding?

One is clearly much more developed than other two.

Congrats man. Mine did exactly the same thing. A bunch at once. Looks like the same going on there. Here’s a pic with of the buds showing. They are all around the base.

That looks absolutely awesome, I am very excited now haha!
 
They will often grow 3-4 new polyps at once. And then those polyps will grow 3-4 polyps, and so on..... it gets large quite fast
Thanks for your reply, I didn’t even know it was possible for more than one at a time until today lol!
