About two weeks ago we found a baby green fungia attached to a rock that my Father-in-law purchased several months ago. It was a rock with some mushrooms and palys on it. It was facing the back of the tank but you could see that it was greener than the palys. I moved it and it popped off. About the size of a dime. It was moved from his 75 to his 24g Nano. It's now about the size of a quarter.
Well, later that week we fragged that rock and I took half of it home and put it in my nano. It had 3 mushrooms on it and some of the palys. I looked today and there's another fungia, slightly smaller than a dime on that same rock and looks healthy.
Not sure if these are from my FIL's fungia or if they were on the rock when he got it and they are just now growing. Odd that they were several weeks apart and the same size.
So, I'm off to read the reproduction cycle of the fungia. I know that at least some are asexual.
Thought I'd share. I can't get a good pic because I still haven't replaced the broken Nikon.
