Ha just beat me to it! Not seeing anything in that picture? What are you referring to?

Not sure what you're talking about. The clear tentacles coming out from the center are normal, they sort of turn inside out over night for feeding

You can trigger this behavior during the day with feeding as well. Turn pumps off, spray some coral food on them (it can just be mysis shrimp or whatever) and wait like 15/20 minutes to see the whole cycle.
When I first got these type of corals I had a lot of fun making time lapse videos of their feeding response.

Ohhhh you know that actually makes perfect sense now I just recently got them and fed them reef roids for the first time so that’s probably why I never saw them before. I didnt target feed just made it into a mixture using tank water but tonight I’ll target feed and watch it. Thats gonna be awesome
