Hello, I noticed that two of my Euphyllias have this darkening of the side polyps. Looks like they’re getting black and dying off. Otherwise, the corals are fully inflated and happy. What could that be and is it normal?

Are they being stung by near by corals?
Is the chemistry within normal limits, Sg, alk?
What lighting fixture and intensity?
