Please advise if this is normal behavior for what i believe is a pocillipora SPS, it looks like the polyps are blowing off the coral.



 
Can’t see but vid, but If you have babies all over then yes.

sorry about that 1st time with video, you can see on the right side the polyps are overextending a little bit?

Looks like sweeper tentacles. They reach out to sting close by competing corals.
 
Thank you for the response!

I never saw this behavior on pocillapora before , hopefully that's as far as they come out
 
Can someone please let me know if this vid is working now
