Might be because of flow, what the coral is trying to do is increase its surface area so it can get as much flow as possible

When I put them in more flow they look deflated and the mouth opens up like a big whole so was told it was getting to much flow so not sure if it’s a flow matter

How’s your torch going? One of mines is starting to exhibit similar symptoms after I changed out my powerheads.

Still look the same. My octo and frogspawn also look the same as well as a hammer I got and not really sure why. Have one to a friend to put in his tank and still looks swollen so really not sure what Can be the cause. I’ve dipped them and all and still no change
