I assume the bottom image is the "before"...? I mean, it's retracted a bit - which could simply be due to being stressed from changes in lighting, water, etc. Did you dip the coral when you brought it home?

Are you talking about the white lower skeleton? Which to me looks like it was recently fragged/cut.

You want to be mindful of the lower tissue below the tentacles which generally won't have much exposed white skeleton... it seems to have a little recession, but I wouldn't panic if it extends it's tentacles. It will grow up the stalk leaving exposed skeleton which will eventually dull with age.

That's good to hear I was a little worry thinking thinking was slowly decaying from the bottom up.
Thanks for information it washed my worries away.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
