Blastos

Ok so I've ben wondering, do blastos gorw off of a skeleton or do they grow onto rocks because right now I have mine on the sand next to a rock and I've noticed 2 new little things (polyps? i dunno the name) but anyways it looks like the skeleton is running out of room quick so I'm just wondering.

 

here's a pic of it:

two types of blastomussas (wellsi and merteti). blasto merleti makes small polyps that are easily broken off. wellsi makes larger polyps that are more connected. since your picture doesn't show can't tell which kind.

is this the blasto in question? looks like wellsi to me. i guess polyps could spread to adjacent rock, but have not seen it happen before. have an update of pic?
