Is my frogspawn coral budding?

[thisguy1]

Hi so I bought a three head frogspawn two months ago. Last week I’ve noticed that 2 heads might be splitting and growing a new head. But I have two questions. 1) When the mouth on one head is pinched in the middle making it look like two mouths is it starting to split? 2) Is this a new baby head growing in the pic? This is my first ever frogspawn so just curious and wanted a second opinion

Evening,

I went to school uncg. The hot dogs and ice cream at yum yums is the best. I can’t see from the pics, but you can get small branches growing off the main skeleton. Like tree limbs. That’s how you get big colonies

Your description of the view looking at the pinched mouth sounds like the process of growing and dividing. The heads tend to separate as the skeleton grows, yes.

The thing on the side? Sometimes LPS will grow buds on the side (I think it is more common after damage to the main colony) but the new growth will expand and look like a miniature of the parent.
