The tentacles where way too long and skinny and twisting a couple of days ago...it it looked brown.
Took this pic today.....can you tell what's wrong with it?

Yea it looks good to me. Maybe it had an off day. The brown you saw, could be from being "deflated"?

Keep an eye on it.
 
Today it's tentacles are skinnier....I put it under more light yesterday.

When I moved it to this tank- a month ago-- brown stringy stuff was coming out of all the mouths....and it was looking brown and deflated and....ugly... I left it alone, thinking it just had to acclimate...and after a while it did get better...

Everything else in the tank is doing fine.
 
If there were some brown stuff coming out his mouth while being deflated, he is just having a bowel movement;-) Totally normal. Just wait a day or two, and he will ve back to normal size:-)

Only it lasted a whole month....and now I guess, a month and a half....
Maybe it's just mad cause I took it from a 210g and put it in a 20g? :D
 
Did you acclimate the coral to new lights, if they differ, between tanks?? That could have bothered it..going from t5s to MH for example could make it do that for a while.
 
Yes, I acclimated it to the light. The 210 had LED. I started off just turning on the two T5's and leaving the LED's on the 20 off...it never really got happy so i turned on the LED's....and still...not happy.

I don't get it...all the other corals in the tank are happy.... Should I look for a pest maybe? Or post more pics?
 
My frogspawn sometimes has long tentacles and real thin. Never thought anything was wrong. As long as its not browning out I would assume its doing good
 
It was getting next to nothing as far as flow goes.....I moved it to the center of the tank, and now it gets enough flow to "tousle" the tentacles... I know about them not wanting a lot of flow....so I didn't put it in a ton.

I think it's looking a little better today....tentacles are skinny...but not as brown.
 
Well thats good they arent as brown. It is looking pretty good. Just give it a few days until you fine tune the sweet spot for it
