A few Days ago, I found my devils hand leather coral with a couple holes in it. I attached a pic for view. I have had this coral atleast 4-5 months and it has been looking very healthy since I brought it home. I am not very concerned since it has been opening/puffing up as normal since I noticed the two holes when the lights were off and it was retracted. My question is this coral in the process of reproducing? You can see the two holes on the bottom left of the coral. I have not had any contact with the coral in months. From what I gather online, it looks like that maybe the case. Wanted to get an opinion from more experienced reefers. Thank you in advance, Brent

Good chance yes. They drop fragments of their body and they grow into new pieces

My devils hand is always dropping babies. Drives me crazy. At one point it was happy and not dropping for months, then it decided to again. The little ones are all over the tank.
