The thing is, overnight, it developed a smooth hole at it's base. All day it's been getting larger,and the one trunk seems to be losing it's grip on the rock. Funny thing is, it still looks so healthy. You can read what I have in my tank on my signature, but no one in the tank seems to be bothering it.
Any advise would be so appreciated.

its splitting and you say its a "tree coral" ? what kind ? have a pic that we might see what type ?
It sound as if it's on the move... xeania does the same thing by either budding from the main parent and growing or by splitting and/or releasing from the rock and moving to make another colony of it's self.
