There’s new polyps popping up all o er this frag so but the lower to large polyps are folding in them selves and showing skeleton, is this a sign of growth or concern?

I don't know much about acans in particular, though the best thing I do to gage if it's recession or growth is by looking at older photos of that colony, should be able to tell by that

Compared older images and it’s definitely popping out new heads but this acan is doing weird things
Idk if it’s from organics in water stimulating it’s feeding response or….
I have other Acans they don’t do this lol
