Brain help!

[Reefermatt3]

I got my first open brain about a week ago along with an acan. At first they looked great!
Please ignore the cyano... it's my bulbs, I have ordered new and they have been shipped.

Then today I noticed this!
Why does it look like they are gonna burst?!?

Inflating like that is actually a good sign. The coral is probably receiving the right amount of light, the right amount of flow etc.

That's good to hear although it still bothers me it inflated 3 times as much in 1 day...

Don't worry about it, it looks good! They go through various stages. The signs you got to watch out for is their skeleton showing, their tissue coming loose or excess mucus! That looks like a great piece though! Congrats!

Inflation is good! Skelton or tight flesh is bad.

Got it in the right place straight up and it loves your tank. Well done

Inflation good, skeleton bad, cyano not caused by bulbs. ;)
