How do you tell if favia is happy?

[kilnakorr]

I just added my first favia to my tank.
Finding info on placement and care is easy enough, but what are the signs if it's happy or not?
Is it 'inflated', like acans if it's happy?

it doesnt inflate as much as acans. if you can tell the "skin" is stretched super tight over the skeleton than its unhappy.
If it looks like there might be a millimeter of "space" between skeleton and skin then its happy, just IMHO

Thanks. I could find som pictures of unhappy favias here, where skeleton showed between the heads, just like acans when very unhappy.
So if its a little puffed and heads are touching nicely it's in decent shape?
