MushroomXombies Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Is this toadstool splitting? I've had it for 6 years and after I upgraded to a larger tank, I've noticed he's sheading more often. I thought maybe he was still adjusting to the new tank and lights. But maybe I'm wrong. I wasn't aware they could split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 They can absolutely split, mine is constantly dropping clone babies. Usually mind happens where the polyps extend, it will start to pinch off a piece. The tissue becomes white all around it and it ultimately separates and falls to the sand. I haven't really seen this behavior in the "trunk", but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocks Reef Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That apatasia has a sweet hiding place! But yes, they can split. However, as mFrame stated, they usually self frag or spawn. In fact, mine spawned this morning and I have been lucky enough that a few survived the fish and are attaching to live rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I hope you're patient! I have one that's started making a groove down the stalk last year and just in January had two separate feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
