Hi,

I've had some problems keeping SPS for a while and finally I've achieved some stability. I admit I'm now a little paranoid on everything concerning my SPS. Here we go



Do you think this polyp extension (in the base) is normal. This is my new stylophora (2 weeks) but I've seen it also in my old stylophora and seriathopora (both are dead now). What could be the cause of this polyp extension?

Thanks in advance
 
It looks completely normal and happy. On the bases of my Stylophora/Pocillopora where it begins to encrust, the polyps always appear longer.

Also it could be that the base is getting less flow as well.
