Hi all,

Just wanted to share the attached photos. Over the past few weeks my trumpet corals been “rearranging” itself. It almost looked like it was melting, but I wasn’t too concerned because it’s polyps were open and parameters good.

Today I noticed it’s finally looking like it may drop a polyp or two? Perhaps trying to start a new colony - I read this is one way trumpets propagate.

When/if this trumpet drops a polyp off, should I just let it do its thing? Maybe nudge it somewhere safe? Lol. I imagine I won’t really be able to handle it/glue it somewhere on my reef until it gets a little more established?

That's awesome! Did it drop the frag yet?
