Noticed some of my sps have less coloring on backsides is this ok? Could it lead to something or should I move them. A couple are already glued down. I run a redsea90 on a 40 gallon tank.
 
I can buy have to pull it kinda hard to do but basically no PE on backsides rest full extension
 
If it's on the non to low lit side you're good. As my colonies grow the underside turns a flesh color and will go smooth with very little polyps. If it grows too dense and blocks flow that area will actually receed sometimes.

If it's well lit start looking at flow
 
Can it cause any problems with it? Everything else looks good just wondering if the one side can affect rest of coral.
 
Just an example. My buddy recommended taking them of frag rack and glue them down so i did today.
