Never see sweepers on my LPS, is this normal?

[setec69]

I have several LPS and they all have good color, but I almost never see sweepers on some and never on others. I want to make sure this is normal.

I have frogs and hammer, both are open and well, I have a closed brain and for the most part see them on him every once in a while.

However, I never see any on my candy cane, trumpets, echino, acans or favas. Should I be concerned about this?

in my experience that is a sign that they are happy and well fed. I wouldn't be concerned unless they were dieing back.

sweepers are for defense. if they don't need to defend themselves, they put out few/no sweepers.
it means you've spaced them out enough that they don't feel a threat.

I have a wall hammer, green galaxia, and hydnophora. The only activity I see is on the Galaxia. They all look great and very healthy.

galaxia is a very aggressive coral, although my colony is only about 4x4 inches it puts out sweepers that are about 6 inches long.

Yeah try looking at night a few hours after the lights go out.

Feed cyclopeeze. You may see them at least on the candycane.
