Hi. I'm new here so I may be asking a lot of questions. I just moved up to a 85 gallon from a 20 nano. I had a 75 gallon back in the 90's as well, but all of that is 20 year old knowledge.

So anyway, I have this one bleeding apple scoly that either puffs up or expands like a pancake to at least three times it's size. It's always done this and I've had for about 10 months.

I just purchased two new scolys last week. One is a monochromatic and the other is a small Indian war paint. They are near the old scoly and are subjected to the same lights and current. When should I expect them to expand? Or is my original unusual?
 
If you feed them they will acclimate easier to the tank. Just remember not all corals react the same.
