Just got my first corals a few weeks ago and they're in quarantine now. Everything has been going well but today one of the polyps looks odd. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Bump for the OP!

Sometimes, when Zoas are newly added, they can take some time to adjust and to fully open. How is it looking today? Any change?
 
Guessing you are asking about the darker colored one? The lashes are laid back on all of them, you might try a little less light and see if that helps. Also, as Fish Fan mentioned, sometimes it takes a bit for them to adjust and settle in.

The weird thing was they looked fine for two weeks, and then randomly the one polyp in the middle looked off for a few days.

I think it's looking better this morning.

Thanks for the info. Good to know the lighting might be too strong.
