Thanks for all the pics, links and tips, guys and gals! So from the photo, it looks to all of you like there's new growth, not some sort of ailment?

Definitely future branches. Ailments are easy to identify ... the coral usually just recedes.

Drew,
it is new growth on that frag of montipora digitata and it was already starting when I sold it you. Looks great and very healthy. Good job. Great looking frag if I say so myself.

Doug,
great growth on that frag you got from me as well, if you place that particular birdsnest in a lower light area it will turn a cool green colour and looks awesome.

That is great growth!
Are you going to keep taking photos of its growth?

I hope to, Catherine. If I can remember to do it every week, that would be awesome!
