Blasto ballooning

[Leadfooted]

This particular Blasto balloons up like this from time to time but never seen my others do it. It takes on a different shape when it’s feeding but not like this. Any chance something’s irritating it?

Hey @najer this is kinda up your alley. You know of anything negative that would cause an LPS to puff up? I've always considered that a good sign.

I would say light and / or flow.
The 2 baby heads are low light, they look fine to me.
You have it against the glass in low light, I would give it room to "breath", give it a bit more light but not too much more flow, imo.

Perhaps it's low flow, this is one of the slowest flow areas. I've circled the one I'm talking about, it's in the open so I don't think it's space. Odd little dude cause my other right next to it's popping out new heads like crazy.

Looks healthy. We've had multiple blastomussa wellsi and it seemed like the ones in lower flow were noticeably puffier. Those are nice blastos.

Thank you. I guess I'll leave it alone for the time being. Just wanted to be sure this wasn't a bad indication of something.
