Blueberry gorgonian stringy polyps

[las]

Hello -
this bb gorgonian has stringy long polyps. What can cause this? I can remember if this is a symptom of too much water flow. Any advice appreciated

Causes:
Jack of light intensity
Lack of food
Excessive or inadequate water flow
High salinity

Well I can for sure rule out high salinity. But why would lack of light cause this reaction in a non photosynthetic sea fan?

i have pretty high water flow. And, I will up the food once the tank stabilizes here at this nutrient intake level. I’ve already increased feeding on Monday. Don’t want to throw anything out of whack for at least another week.

I can’t get the video to work. Sorry

if you look at the bottom right polyps, you can see the stringy polyps
