Spawner- I've talked to Erik twice now by phone. A great guy, phycologist and microecologist, doing interesting work on pelagic bacterial culture. I have not received those papers yet- would GREATLY appreciate your forwarading them if possible!
Mary- polyp bailout has been described many times. It's likely that you are seeing a strategy to preserve polyps under adverse conditions rather than growth. It would be interesting to know how old your primary colony is.
