open brain coral hopped off skeleton! Ever seen?
Has anyone ever seen this? My open brain coral has attached itself to the live rock and bailed on its skeleton! I will put a pic up. Complete polyp bail out and living good!

This will be interesting to see. I know I've never heard of it before. . .assuming the coral survives of course.

Yes, polyp bailout is a recognized form of asexual reproduction; it can also be a response to extreme stress.
But since 'open brain' doesn't really identify the coral, we can't say what's going on here... without a picture, that is.
