Yes once a weekExtended tentacles typically means the coral is reaching for food. Do you target feed your corals?
So its nawt to worry about?Most of mine have their tentacles out 24/7 except once a day when they expel their water and poop and then reinflate. I know they're not hunger as they eat very well and grow like mad.

Mine love to eat and I target feed each polyp a good sized piece of LRS frozen food 2-3 times a week.Nothing to worry about. Maybe up the feeding if it's always hungry.
Yeah i was thinking of doing the same but didnt want to put loads of excess nutrients in my tank just to few the few that always seem to be reaching for foodI’m going to follow this. I’m not sure if it’s just feeding... when I bought mine from the LFS I observed it for weeks before finally diving in. In my tank, both my frags always have their tentacles out. One more than the other. I know my lights are fairly weaker than the LFS. In the LFS they were extra ‘fat’ and didn’t have their sweepers out. I asked what they feed and I did the same. I do target feedings every 2-3 days with reef roids and sometimes some mysis. They seem to be always hungry. I think it’s a combination of lights, feeding, and water quality. I’m transferring my frags to a new upgrade tank soon that has a sump(instead of canister) with metal halides. Both filtration and lights will be significantly better. Once I do so, I’ll let you know how they react. Your not they only one experiencing this. May try and move them up the water column with simulate flow and see if the increased light helps. I’d give them Atleast a week to settle
