I’ve got a alveopora that extends 3-4 inches and I notice that sometimes some of the polyps appear kinked or bent and the area that is bent is much darker in color. These tend to go away and then come back in other polyps. I feel like it could be from when I turn off all flow during feeding and the polyps stop moving and kinda bend over. Anybody else notice this? Is it harmful in any way?
