Hmm... My pattern is indeed an explicit breeder.
However, the breeder takes approximately 50K generations to start, so I suggest you to remove useless chunks of the pattern, (notably the four first puffers, after which breeding stops for a while) to see the whole pattern. But yes, a beefy computer is necessary.
I modified it to make it more explicit:

As you can see, the pattern starts producing new twin b puffers (TBP?) in a regular pasis.New TBPs may be produced in a chaotic way, but the triangle of TBP will always grow.
Besides, the puffer is rather stable on it's own in term of damage, as it spontaneously regenerates in the first pattern I posted.
On the other hand, the Staircase hex is a chaos mass capable of creating new TBP on a widely irregular basis. However, interactions between 4 TBPs may eventually lead to the creation of the whole breeder. But if this is considered a breeder, what isn't?
P.S. It's population can really be made smaller. Feel free to do so.
P.P.S. New pattern? New name! How about the dry mosquito (in reference to Life's small breeder)?
EDIT: Made a lot smaller, to 120 cells.
