I have this purple pocillopora that has recently released about a half dozen baby poccillopora's in my tank. (not the best situation). Today I noticed a baby pocillopora on a live snail. Don't know how he got there. Attachment 16091

don't these things breed like rabbits,,
I was told that Once you have them they are like a STD ....

I always lumped them together with aptasia's...

Pretty cool. Now if only u could train the snail to stay in one spot, your new baby might be ok. Im sure the constant changing of flow and light levels as the snail cruises the tank will have an effect on it's growth.

I have got babies all over the tank. I don't need this guy to survive. I am getting rid of the mother colonies. I can manage the babies, Definitely not as bad as aiptasia.
