The corals were probably having a party while you were sleeping and someone spilled their glass of vodka. ;-)

Not sure that's the cause, although that would explain the olives floating in the tank

I find it happens often when caps cup upwards. As they grow along with other corals surrounding it lack of flow becomes a problem. One of my green caps just did the same thing.

This one is really off on it's own, not impeded at all by other corals. I suppose something slight that I can't notice perhaps. It also hasn't really cupped much, more a flat outward growth. Oh well, I have a backup piece in the frag tank and hopefully will have a large leaf left by tonight.

Ya. It's a nice cap, purple polyps, but it's more of a landscaping issue if I have to cut it all out Kind of wrecks the symmetry of the area. We'll see, maybe it will stop. haha
