I’ve had a favia and favites colony for some time now (3+ months). I have yet to see any sweeper tentacle activity. Is this a good thing or is something amiss? I’ve been checking at various times in the night after lights out and nada.

Coral looks healthy, it would not concern me.

You may see sweepers if it was closer to another coral as a defensive mechanism.
