Default Sun Coral Question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
So I have a question about my Sun Coral. I have had this wonderful coral for about 1-1/2 years! and it is awesome! About 6 months ago I noticed another rock that is 2 feet away with with what appeared to be a sun coral polyp? It now has 5 polyps and it is diffenately a Sun Coral!

Within the last month I have now noticed four more rocks all with in 10" of my Sun Coral with new sun coral polyps on them! 3 of the 4 only have 1 but 1 rock has 5 polyps in different locations!!

So my question is... Has it just taking this long for my live rocks to start to produce Sun Corals or is my Sun Coral somehow spreading???
If it is spreading how does this happen?

Thank you for reading & (replying)
\Ray/

Sounds like it is spreading. Unless those rocks previously had sun corals on them it is unlikely they would just appear on live rock.

It's not uncommon for a healthy Tubastrea spp. to sexually propogate in an aquarium. More than likely this is what your experiencing.
