Plate lifting its skirtskirt

[jamesamantha]

My new plate pulls up along the edges. It is like it is uptight about something. I have seen other plates where the fleshy rim touches the sand. This one is staying drawn up on the edges. Is this ok?

mine does it occasionally, no worries. As long as tentacles are still out your good

seems like when mine inflates it does that the most

Mine does this from time to time and it's on a bare bottom, looks fine to me

It's just fine. The big issue with plate corals is the skin getting nicked and infection setting in.

Thanks for the replies. I moved to an area with less flow and a bit less light just to see if it might be more consistently happy. It started retracting its tentacles during the day.
