Scoly babies?

[ngoodermuth]

Is it a scolymia vitiensis? I know they grow into multi-head colonies like that.

Found a couple more

Is this a new discovery? I've never heard of scollys doing this, people don't even frag them because of the high failure rates and odd ball look scollys after wards.

 

[leebauer]

They have popped up over the past 3 or 4 months, I'm pretty blown away at it.

This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen

 

[leebauer]

And like I've said , they seem to have popped from the skirt and not the skeleton or base like an acan would

So jealous! I wish mine would do that. Super curious as to how this all ends up. Please keep us updated.

Any updates? This looks like a H. bowerbank too me not a scoly

 

[leebauer]

No updates other than babies are still growing! How can you tell the difference?

 

[Falk]

The size, growth pattern (including the skeleton) and colorway is commonly found as a bowerbanki. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/02/08/homophyllia-bowerbanki-2/

Ok, over four months later, any news or pics of the new arrival? @leebauer

It looks like a bowerbanki to me. My bowerbanki is growing heads in the exact same manner. The second picture is the same bowerbanki before it grew more heads
