Default Too much polyp extension?
I have a sunset milli thats growing like crazy.

but all i've been seeing is the fuzzy polyps.

today when i went to feed all my corals i blasted it with a turkey baster and the polyps retracted to show a nice pink/green skeleton.

is this just the way it is or should the polyps be less extended?

I recently lost my flame angel, polyp extension is now crazy and some of my corals are doing the same thing, polyps are totally taking over the "nice" part of the coral.

I've upped the flow a bit, which seemed to cause a slight retraction in polyp extension.

Sorry to ruin the massacrer guys...
