Wird Favia Growth. Ever seen this?

[vtecintegra]

This Favia has developed a blob that seems to be being pulled down and stretched by gravity. Looks really weird. Not sure what to do with it, or just leave it. Ever seen anything like this?

I have never seen that before, that's so weird! You win the "bizarre coral" award!

I've seen a tiny, little beginning of something that looks very similar on one of my favia colonies where the lobe almost looks melted as it splits and grows. But I have never seen anything to that extent on my favia before where it looks like it's dripping.. that's crazy!

That cant be good, maybe an iodine dip in case it’s bacteria.

I have had at least three do something similar. Never affected health.

Still about the same. The very bottom piece dropped off. I've read enough comments here and other places to make me think it's a way to reproduce.
