Zero tentacles not even at night, never target feed and growing beautifully. IME her tentacles showed more when she was just a lil round frag.
I've always placed my Favias "down stream" so to speak. Furthest from the power heads but in the flows path so ANY and all foods get blown over it. Oh and she's going on 8yrs old. Have given away 5 disc covered frags to boot!

Thanks alot for the info...[emoji4]
 
If it's just green, it shouldn't be an issue. If it starts bleaching or browning you have an issue, but I've never heard someone complain about too much colour :P
 
How would know its stressed?

First signs that I've noticed is the tissue looks faded, lighter in color which is actually tissue recession. Then it starts to look ridged or rough, deeper recession. Skeleton starts showing. But never give up on them. Immediately move to a very low light area.
I feared my Favia was a goner. Moved her to back corner and she was back to normal in a few weeks. She don't like direct LED lights. I kept her under T5's for 5yrs before the last 2yrs being under LED.
