Blasto looking flat

[AdamNC]

Anyone care to take a guess? It just looks like it’s melting but it’s not, it opens and closes with the light schedule. Acans look fat, Zoas are all out, no fish but a good cuc from Reef Cleaners all snails and no crabs. I spot feed the Blasto and the Acans once a week with Spectrum Life mini pellets.

Anychamce the polyp is big and healthy, just being blown flat by flow?

It’s possible but every Blasto I’ve seen that’s healthy is all plumped up. Maybe feed it more or bump my No3 up some? Maybe more light or less light?

Mine basically looks the same as yours, just took the picture a minute ago. I have no idea if it’s significant or not. Mine seem pretty happy with feeding response, p.e. and whatnot.
