Brain Coral Pretty Flat

[Arcticfirefighter]

I got this guy today from the LFS, and it was kind of "puffy" when I first added him to the tank. Is it normal for them to deflate for a while? Parameters are all normal with the exception of Nitrates (20), which I am working on lowering. He has been in the tank for about 6 hrs. Thanks!

Perfectly normal for them inflate/deflate.

Just wanted to make sure, it pretty much turned into a pancake...[emoji41]

It will be throwing out feeding tentacles in no time

Keep the butter and syrup handy though, just in case it does turn into a pancake
