Yuma Mushroom inflation?

[UCaggie]

Hey all,

Done my fair share of lurking and all, now just made an account here. I picked up an orange Yuma yesterday and it was pretty small in that tank, but now it looks like this.

Since I've never seen a Yuma look that way with the tentacles long instead of short and bubbly, I was wondering is that normal or am I doing something wrong? I've never owned a Yuma before.

It looks fine to me. (very healthy) You could try feeding it something though and see how it responds.

looks normal to me

Sometimes they stretch out their bubbles like that. I'm not exactly sure what causes it. Lighting, water params, etc. could cause it. They usually go back to normal after a day or two.

It looks great! My Yumas inflate just like that.
