My vote is pocillipora as well. You will know for sure if you start finding new colonies of it forming all over your tank :surprise:

It was a volunteer that just grew out of some live rock so the ID sounds logical.
Thanks for the help folks.

Probably the same as this:

That is very close and similar to the same sort of transitions that took place with mine.
Thanks

I've heard that Pocillopora's will do "polyp bailout" and start new colonies. Not a true spawning event but sorta similar results in that suddenly little tiny colonies form out of nowhere. The one I have hasn't done that to me though so I'm not sure if some are more predisposed to it than others.

Yeah I've heard it is polyp bailout as well. I have two types in my tank and only one of them has started colonies elsewhere.

That is cool that yours grew that large from one polyp.
