Overly dense spongodes polyps

[inviscidfluid]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced really dense polyps on spongodes to the point that the brown polyps cover all of the green flesh. It is growing quickly and encrusting, but little branching and super dense polyps that make it look like a brown blob. Any advice to get more green to come through or is it just happily extending polyps like crazy?

More light, and more flow

More flow will solve your issue

Thanks. I will redirect powerheads for now and more thoroughly consider placement/flow in the tank upgrade I am currently cycling.

Here's a few different placements I have in my tank, the ones showing more green are in good flow, the other one in the first pic is mostly brown with a little green showing and its in low flow but all grow at the same rate.
