As the image below shows, my flowerpot coral has very long tentacles. I bought this as a frag simply labeled "red flower pot" over 2 months ago, and while it has definitely grown it has always had these very long mouth tentacles. I can't recall it ever having the stereotypical flower/daisy look like you see in the flowerpot showoff thread. So...is it ok if it looks like this? Are these long tentacles good or bad?

If bad, is it due to flow or lighting (medium-high flow and LED light)? Lack of food? I target feed it and the tank every Tues/Thurs/Sat a mix of frozen (usually brine shrimp) mixed with Reef-roids.

Any advice on how to improve the quality of life of my flower pot, if needed? I know they can be difficult to keep alive, and this is my first flower pot so I want to do my best.
