So I picked up a rainbow madness cyphastrea at the latest WWC live sale. I’ve never had a cyphastrea so I’m unaware of what a happy one looks like. Mine kinda looks like the one in the pics on the site. But at the same time I’ve seen other cyphastrea pictures where they have actual polyps coming out of the “spots”.

I know they’re pretty much low light exclusively. The care guide I rewatched said if I see the polyps clamp up to lower the light it’s receiving

So how does mine look?

Looks pretty good to me. Have they opened more since you posted?
