Hmm. Some morphs split, cloning themselves. Although this does not sound like they are multiplying because of it flaking off....

Check the water parameters. I had a problem with my green corallimorph, however, mine just dulled in colour.

Photos would help too.


Cheers

I took my specimins home and they folded up and 'hid' for the day. Next day they were open, was the morph attached to the rock or did they remove and give you just that?

I bought my3 peices and left them on the rock they came with.

 

Note: I will get photos of my tank up soon.

What kind of blowy?

Most puffers and triggerfish are not reef safe and are quite aggressive...
