Bubble Coral

How does a bubble coral reproduce? I have a white one that is about 4x4 inches when fully expanded. I feed it every day with a mixture of food. I have had it for about 3 weeks now.

I have noticed that it has one tentacle that is 3-4 inches long, much longer than the other ones, that has a tiny bulge at the end of it. Is this how the coral leaves behind a baby?

To the best of my knowledge, this is not how they reproduce. It is likely just a sweeper tentacle, and it will sting the cr@p out of other corals within its reach.
