Hey my acan frags have been looking like this notice how the biggest polyp is scrunched up and has like fold where it’s deflated, and I’m thinking they are in too bright of light mainly because the polyps that are directly below them seem to be doing better. Can anyone with more experience with them verify?

IME the tend to look like this with too much flow too much light then loose color have you fed them yet sometimes this helps also
Okay so Ive moved it from a higher light spot to a lower light spot. both spots have similar lower flow so hopefully it starts to plump up.

As far as food I broadcast feed reef roids and phyto, It is now below a feeding ring so it might catch some stray pellets.
