Fragmentation / SPS / Pocillopora Planulae
|
|
In this section, I've taken shots of some growing polyp bails from a Pocillopora.
The colonies settled on a powerhead in Figure 1 and are growing out quite nicely.
My current theory is the bails were produced by stinging from a near by Faviid. I tried
to replicate it with a Stylophora (which is in the same family). I have yet to
see any new colonies from that.

Figure 2 is another settled colony on the back glass. This colony has grown to half dollar
size in 4 months.
