Are you sure the ones randomly popping up aren't apista?
Can you get a pic?

Wanna post some pics? May help to figure out why they are popping up. Can never complain about zoa propagation IMO though

Better a clear distant shot over a blurry close up... Or maybe both would be good

I have had single polyps come off a colony before and start growing in a different spot, but they always had the proper color to them. It will be interesting to see what your pictures show.

one of the small ones died i guess...i had to remove the rock that it was on to glue on some ridge coral and it asnt opened back up since....
the other "new" one is still in its lil crevice and the larger one that ive known about is still in its same spot amongst the green stripe mushrooms. thats the one im trying to get a pic of. but its right in the middle of some dark slimy stuff and kinda blends in.....i did notice alil color to it in the center...its starting to get a maroon tint around the mouth....
i gota do some rock moving tomorrow to get to some mushrom that have popped up on the bottom of a rock and ill snap a pic of it tomorrow....
