I noticed the past few nights that my fungia is exhibiting different behavior at night. When I first got it ~2 months ago it was extending its feeders at night, pretty impressively so. They were about 1/4” during the day and extended almost 3x that amount.

It’s super fleshy and often extended, lights on or off. I feed it mysis and/or brine shrimp once or twice a week and it gets some ReefRoids when I’m feeding my other LPS twice a week.

Fast forward to 3 nights ago when I started checking the tank at night for coral aggression and hitchhikers after receiving a shipment of some platy and favia colonies that I noticed it is puffing up into a big dome shape. I don’t think it got stung by the platy like my acans did, but I can’t be sure.

This is also not my first fungia and I haven’t seen this before, and Google didn’t have anything for me.

might be trying to move. Sometimes they'll inflate like that to scoot around.
