Hello! This is more of a sharing post unless anyone suggests I there is need for concern.
I’ve got a jack-o-lantern leptoseris and I noticed it’s tiny mouths open the other day. I had never noticed this behavior before and it’s all closed up and back to normal now! The coral seems to be growing well (second picture is from 12/2 for reference!), and has good coloration. I figured it was just eating since it was open just while my gold head sleeper goby was busy sifting sand and throwing who knows what into the water column, but I had never seen this coral “eat” like this before. Anyway, assuming all is well, I hope you enjoy the pics! Thanks!
