spreading coral?

Yesterday I looked in the tank and I saw some neon green spots on the sand that are about the size of 3 grains of sand. Could this be my corals spreading? I currently have a paly zoa colony, 3 neon trumpets, 2 hammerheads a goniopora, bubble coral and 2 rynophora frags. Could it be the neon green trumpets or hammerheads?

This may not be a good sign. If corals are deteriorating, you may see bits of them. Likewise if a fish is bothering them.
Check your alkalinity: good params for lps coral are in my sig line.
