Frogspawn Coral

[jasonrog]

I have found about six small tips from my frogspawn on the sand. They are not torn off or anything. They look like it has grown new buds and let them go. Is this whats happening or am I in trouble? If it is new growth, how do I care for them?
Thanks

Someone posted a similar situation with another Euphyllia, not too long ago. (it was a hammer)
Someone else identified it as "polyp bail-out", which is another form of reproduction. If you can, try to keep the polyps from blowing under rocks and dying. Other than that, keep an eye to see if they take hold of the substrate. My hammer coral has done it many times, but all the polyps blew away.

I four diffrent FS and all of them have these. I have grown 27 healthy buds in the last year all doing well with there new owners. It takes about 8 months to a year for mine to fully develop.
