So, i have this coral and not sure what to do next. There used to be another "main" piece on top, but it broke off (or was pushed off) and got swept away in tank somewhere. Now, i see these pieces growing on the sides.

Question is: should i be doing something with them or just keep letting it grow? This side view is the smaller piece - side with more light exposure is larger.

Just let it grow...there's nothing you really have to do to it.

What will it do? Keep growing outward with more pods sprouting? Will it grow over the base it is glued to?

These corals just keep growing in a mound like fashion. They dont grow over the base.

Yep, it'll spread and grow more heads.

When its tentacles are extended, you can try feeding it some frozen food with a turkey baster.

regarding the base -- should I bury the base in the sand for appearances or break it off the base and glue it to a rock?

It's up to you. I think it'd look more natural glued to the rock.
