Dislodged bubble coral?

[rockman]

I have a small bubble coral that I got on a piece of LR in the last two months it has grown larger and was looking good. Then one day it just let go of its anchor point and floated
around the tank. It reattached to another rock for two days and let go again. Now its sitting on the substrate on the bottom – It still inflates and looks good.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is their something I can do for it?

I can not find any reference to this – or I’m not looking in the right place
So I bring this to the people I trust!

This is in a well cared for tank and all params are perfect
Many Thanks

Is called 'polyp bail-out'. Google it and you'll find some good info.

Thanks MX

The environment didn't change so i don't think stress was an issue. So i'm thinking reproduction.
If this is the case I will document this and post it on the forum (with pics)

sounds like it is looking for more or less lighting or more or less flow!
