    My trumpet has happily been splitting by getting two mouths in the middle then pinching together. However, I have noticed one head with two white spots toward the outside where the skin looks like it was pinched into a small squiggle. You can see it in the closer head in the picture above. Is this something I should be worried about? I have to admit I hope it is just another way the coral splits....

    That's a good question. I have never seen my trumpets do that, but it looks similar to how my war coral grows a new mouth. If the coral is otherwise happy I would keep an eye on it but be too worried.

    Thank you for the response! I'm still interested that it is such a different thing. ^_^
