Hey guys,
Just wanted to know more about Duncans.
I thought I needed to move the placement of this coral.
Before the coral was more compact and the tenticals were short but skinny.
Here is the pic of the coral before I moved it. Sorry that it is blurry!

After the move the coral is three times the size. Heads everywhere and the tenticals are large but skinny. The heads are expanded almost as though they are looking for light.
Here is a pic of the way it is now.

Is this normal looking?
Should it be closer to the MH's?
Should it receive stronger water flow?
Thanks All

a little info for you from vivid aquariums site. how the tentacles look on them seem to depend on flow. less flow more compact higher flow seem to be long and skinny. i have mine in lower light and medium flow.
they can be kept in higher lighting but must be acclimated very slowly to it.
