Hey Louey one more thing...I was thinking about this event just before I woke up this morning (only hardcore geeks dream about captive reefs right?) and it occurred to me that polyp bailout, without asexual budding or tissue fission, should be a no-gain scenario where simple relocation is the goal (for whatever reason the books hold) but it couldn't account for the increase in biomass of your pocillopora. So, on that note, it's just my opinion but we clearly have either a sexual or non-sexual event and not bailout. I don't know much about coral planulae or evidences of sexual reproduction without obvious gamete ejection into the water column, but I am wondering if you picked up a sample of one of these new colonies and observed it for calcification...I was just wondering in my half-dazed ponderances if a bailed colony or polyp would be fastened to a substrate through tissue adhesion (awaiting the time it takes to calcify a new supportive skeleton) whereas new planulae or larvae would have had the time to form their own real skeleton correspondent to the time they have been "in place." I guess only someone who has worked with or observed planular reproduction would know how fast a juvenile specimen begins to calcify a new skeleton...cool eh?
