My BTA had a baby!

I thought they reproduced by splitting, but I found (after I turned over a rock) a fluorescent green BTA the size of a pencil eraser! It is so cute. How did that happen?

Are you sure it is a bubble tip and not majano? If it is that small it could be majano which is like aiptasia.

I had what I thought were rose BTA's but they were spreading quickly and I was told to squash em...Mojano. Mine showed up as what appeared to be a baby too...just make sure it is not, but I am not sure how you do that.

Here is one of mine...
