Can anyone let me know if this is normal? Looks odd to me.

Also noticed only one polyp of these zoas has this green around the mouth.

If it keeps shrinking like that, it's not happy, I had a similar issue before with acans, I couldn't keep them for the life of me.

Idk if it's shrinking, but the opening got more pronounced and now I'm seeing like a crack with tentacles coming out.

The tenticals coming out are a good sign of feeding many of mine keep theirs out all day and night. The drip is the look of where a new head is likely to form. Mouth forms first. The more pronounced is a good thing as long as it's still feeding and puffing up which it looks to be. Think of the mark as a scab and the skin underneath is healing and new good skin is pushing the gross away until it's fully healed and flakes away. So unless you are seeing skeletons it still looks good

Thank you both for your input. I'll keep an eye on it and report back any changes I see.
