I had this posted in the SPS forum. Sorry.

Let me know! This is the first time I have ever seen it.

They are splitting. Often times when one head splits into two, that bubble-like membrane will cover the area between the splitting mouths. Eventually the bubble will disappear and you'll have more mouths to feed.

Thanks! I have had this guy for a year now and it has split many times. I have just never seen the bubbles before! I was worried that it had grown too close to someone nearby and a war was errupting!!!

sorry if i worded that bad. What is the coral in the bottom left of that picture?
No problem. That is a zoantind colony. I am not sure why it is closed up as it is open today.

Your hammer will send out feeler (sweepers) tentacles and I think Shinobi was concerned that your hammer may be touching (stinging) the nearby colony. May explain their closure.
