Hi all

Is this nornal behaviour had this in my tank for 4 weeks no issues then last 3 days it's been like this. Polyps still come out partially but it's just not standing up. All water stats are good. Pictures attached in the one with the clowns you can see it in the back ground stood up. Any advice welcome, is this normal coral behaviour as I have read they can go in for days or even weeks then come back bigger?

Very normal for them to droop. Some factors are:
Lack of water flow
Molting
High or low salinity
Temperature warm
Annoyed by rank occupants
Light too bright

flow is the biggest one. Gently blow surface with a turkey baster- should perk it up
 
Thanks I'll try. How do you know if its dying or not?
