Hi! I think my Octospawn coral is splitting. I am attaching pictures (as best as I could get). We are still new to this hobby and would love your thoughts.
Splitting?

Lol... If only corals would pose for us right?!? When I first started out and saw euphyllia exhibiting the splitting behavior I freaked out. Skeleton would show and it would close up for a few hours... posting lots of threads on here asking what was wrong. Lol

If only! I told my husband I wanted to turn it around to get a better picture and he just “looked” at me. Lol. So I did the next best thing- reached out here!

Lol, I'm a reefer that likes to keep his hands out of the tank, sadly I don't pose most of my corals. Then again I go to my LFS and their hands are all over the tank lol. I'm sure it would be fine if you moved it, I normally wait till everything is asleep then do some quick shifting. Can't wait to see your Octo in its full glory

Yes!!! So excited! Now we just need to wait and see if my other one will split. Here is what that one looks like. It was just “tossed “ in when we had bought the larger Octospawn. This one has doubled in size since we first got it.

The pictures don’t do them justice! They are very pretty. This is the smaller of the 2 again.
