Floating Frogspawn Tentacle

I was watching my tank for some time this evening and a piece of my forgspawn (euphylia divisia) broke off and started floating about the water column. For the last week it has not opened fully, I was quite sure it was splitting a new head. Maybe not.

I have ever seen a piece just float around before, is this normal.

There is nothing in the tank that would cause it harm,

leapoard wrasse, bi color blenny, pink spotted watchman, 7 snails
Levels are all good, Alk was a tincy bit low. Nothing new in the tank in since August. Really nothing has changed at all. Coral has gone from one to four heads, thought I was getting a fifth.

Thanks.

This has been happening with my frogspawn for a while. A little part of a tentacle will fall off, and fall on a coral. I thought since my frog is so big that it might do that as part of a reproductive strategy. The only difference is that my frog still stays open and looks very healthy.

Normal but watch out. If it lands on another coral it will burn it.
