Hey Everyone!

I’m super curious if anyone can shed some light on something fascinating I’ve observed! When I broadcast feed, one of my acantho corals puffs up dramatically, almost like a delicious cream puff! It’s such a sight to see!

I’ve got a few other acanthos in my tank, and their reactions are quite different—some extend all their tentacles, while others flip inside out. But this particular one? It inflates like a cream-filled donut!

It looks so SQUISHY and incredible! I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences with unusual behaviors like this! IMG_2291.jpeg IMG_2292.jpeg

These corals act to collect food from the environment, and they can look different from other acanthos when they do this, I don’t know why they are different?
