When i turned on the lights tonight i saw some of the craziest polyp extension i have ever seen on many of my peices. Don't know why, but they seem to be happy!

Here's a picture. Show your crazy polyp extension pictures.

i dont dose anything as food but my tank is over run with pods, worms, etc. so there is probably alot a little stuff floating around in the water for them to eat. i should have had something in the shot for a size reference on this, but they are huge. could probably wreastle down a buick

Was that picture taken after lights out? Thats what most of my acro colonies look like 30-40 minutes after lights out. Strangely it takes any new acros introduced into the tank a week or so to show this extreme polyp extension.
Sorry about the hi-jack looks great man keep it up.

it was taken about 2 min after the lights turned on from being off for 8 hours. They are no where near this extreme during the daytime.

Pretty cool pic. I've got a couple of corals that do that but I can't get a good macro of the polyps for the life of me.
