I've been watching these little things for a month or two thinking they were some kind of a pest growing on my rocks. They started as tiny neon green specs about the size of a pea. The first one, I tried to pick off thinking it was a nudibranch. Now that they have gotten bigger, they are baby torch's. Thing is, they are about 4 feet away from the mother colony. I didn't know euphyllia could propagate in the home aquarium. Anybody ever heard of this? One is about the size of a quarter, and the other the size of a dime.

It's definitely possible. I have a small frosgspawn head that grew in the sandbed. Now there is enough skeleton in the base so i mounted it on a plug.
