Devil's hand propogation

Hi all,
So I understand that leather finger corals will propagate by dropping their fingers.

Mine is almost done shedding his 2nd finger in the last roughly 2 months and a third is starting to detach.

Now I'm starting to wonder if it might be because he's unhappy.

He opens plenty, all his polyps are out. The first dropping appears to be turning from white to he corals color, and polyps are coming out and it looks like a baby finger is forming.

So, I have no reason to believe anything is wrong other than the frequency of the finger droppings.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thx!
Jay

growth/dropping sounds like a healthy coral.. enjoy..
Mine seems to go through phases too where he will drop a few pieces over the course of a month or so..
