Brad, it's something I found out by accident. In order to pick up the coral colony, I have to literally "cradle" it in both hands. I can move it around fine under water, gently, but if I take out of the water too aggressively, I can feel some of the arms of the skeleton breaking. After I put the colony back in the tank, the coral will drop the broken piece, somewhat similar looking to a polyp bailout.
Deb got one of those from me a while ago, and as far as I know, it's still doing fine.
Bob, I'll let you know!
Mitch
