What is this?!

Anyone know what this is? My plate just sprouted this bubble today.

Can you get a pic in white light, hard to make much out with the blue...

Sorry about that it looks like it went away, so no picture this time. Looks like a bubble on the underside though of the plate

Plate corals have been known to inflate like that form time to time. Why, I have no idea. I've heard that it could be an attempt to move to a different spot. I've also heard that inflating increases the surface area and makes it easier for the coral to capture food from the water column.

Thanks for this, I moved him just to be on the safe side. I just wanted to make sure it was nothing bad
