Just don't stick your face over it! That is unless you enjoy incubating alien babies in your stomach!

so yes i have poked at it before. it had this little white dot on the inside of the bubble so i touched it and it moved the little white thing moved!

One of my Hammer corals did something similar a while back, not quite as large & distended though. Eventually it disappeared & Hammer is still fine. No ill effects anywhere in the system.

maybe its a water cacoon and a butterfly fish will emerge?

Had that happen to a Favia in the store, after a few days it stopped blowing bubbles. Don't pop it, I've learned popping anything in your aquarium is not good.

Yup, happens once in a while with my LPS. Nothing bad ever happens from it, so I wouldn't worry. Leave it be.

Thats exactly what happened to mine last month. It went away after about 2 weeks.
