Anyone have any info on Galaxea propagation through breeding or bailout? I have two colonies in the tank. But, (center of pic) this looks like the head of a galaxea. Thoughts/comments?
Galaxia bailout or baby?

Me either. Polyp bail out as seen with Euphyllias is a sign of stress not really reproduction. Polyp bail out of a coral such as Pocilliopora is a forum of reproduction since the result is the development of an independent colony. Perhaps you're seeing budding and not polyp bail out.

According to this they reproduce asexually and sexuallly:

The mother colony on the right in the pic is very healthy

So I've noticed my galaxia also has been dropping babies, probably 1 a week. So I've been taking them and glueing them to a specific rock so it won't overtake my tank. All of my params are spot on, maybe nitrate a little high, but I'm due for a water change. I think it is spawning, but some say bailout. There is not much info out on the world wide web.
