I'm asking about the two frag on the left. They're similar that both have spiky structure, and lack of obvious eye structure. In comparison the two on the right have a more flatter/smoother and have clear eye. I thought they are different type. Then I read that the spiky structure was because it's not puffing up. They look like that in LFS, from the same tank, and have always look that way. So are those their normal look (besides some tissue loss and algae), or they suppose to puff up of happy?

supposed to puff up, if they aren't things can go downhill. the third one looks the worse (toxic pie?)I had one like that. It died in my QT.
 
Oh, it does look like toxic pie chalice. I found some puffed up pictures on Google, does closely resemble it. It was like that in LFS and I thought it's different type. Should not have bought them.
 
They are not goners yet. I noticed that same reaction in a toxic pie chalice I had when alkalinity swung.
