According to "Corals" by Eric Borneman:
"Reproduction by colony budding for both types of plerogyra (genus) is fairly common in captivity" - page 314, see "collection impact", first column.
I have an awesome piece of bubble I got about a year ago, but I have not seen any signs of budding. I am interested to know if anyone has bubble coral reproducing by budding in his/her aquarium.

i have a bubble... and im not sure how it happened but you can see little small bubbles about the size of a dime.. around the big bubbles on their skeleton.

My bubble completely left his skelaton and left a baby behind who also left the skeleton. the big one is now sitting on the bottom of the tank still doing good. Haven't seen the baby since it left.
