Got up earlier than usual this morning for a special project at work and check this out!

I can’t believe this PE! Wish it would do this during the day!

Nice! I know my sunrise millepora does the same thing, at night that thing just comes alive

Do you have a picture of it? That’s awesome!

My new acid trip millepora looks like that too just as lights come on.

I need a better camera so I can take pictures with the coral’s real color but this guy has some bright green in him you can’t really see here

I'll try to snap one tonight and post it for you

A few of sps do this at night. Really cool to see. That top polyp usually looks different that the rest.

Top polyps look like they are trying to escape.

I get up early most days (while it is still dark) and always am amazed at the coral transformation in the dark. Many have tentacles out or polyp extension that, by day, you have no clue they were even capable of having.

Nice.

Same. I’m usually up at 4:30. It’s cool to see everything opened up!

I am still new to acros. But I have seen some do have PE during the day. This are mine right now.

@Crabs Mcjones
Forgive me for asking but is that Acro meant to be so pale?

This picture was taken a while after lights out. This is what it looks like during the day, new growth is a bright yellow but the camera doesnt pick it up

No worries! My acans do the exact same thing! What is the difference between an acan and a lobo anyways?
