That could be a few things, one is rececession where the tissue has died back, could also just be very closed up or bleaching like you mentioned. A photo would help of the individual spot

I don’t have have one of those fancy orange filters, but with my blue lights on the polyps are opening I think. I can see yellow little eyes, well mouths. But that should be a good sign, yes? All day there has been more of the yellow showing up. I’m also gonna give a little reef roids to them tonight. I’m going to be doing a water change tonight as well. Or do you think I should skip the roids and just do the water change?

I also want to say thank you to everyone that is willing to help. It’s pretty cool knowing I can come for advice and most are willing to help! I appreciate it.

I'd skip reef-roids. You'll know when they're fully open and when they're just starting to open they're not willing to accept food most of the time.

Sounds great! Thanks again, I’ll be sure to update if you guys would like.

Hey there everybody, so last night about an hour or so after my lights went out( I run the moonlight for about a half hour from 9:30-10:00) my gonis started to open!! It was super exciting to watch it. The polyps looked translucent/ghostly white. I let them sit on the bottom of the tank for about 5ish days then moved it to the middle of the tank off to the side and it seemed to almost puff up. I took that as a good sign and left it then like I said last night they opened. So this is a good thing right?

Polyp extension is always a good sign, any pics?

It’s a blurry picture sorry. I thought I took more than one last night but I guess not. They are currently closed, I can still the yellow mouths and the flesh on the skeleton is much more plump than in my previous pictures. I will try and get another better picture when they are out again.

Yeah, give it time and it should be open and happy

Fantastic!! Do you think I should try target feeding it at night? Or continue playing the waiting game. I was giddy like one of my kids at Christmas when I noticed it haha

I'd wait for full PE, though you could try broadcast feeding small meaty foods or phyto

Howdy everyone, so a little update on the gonis; they are now extending, I’m sure they are a bit bleached as the polyp is see through. But they stay open all day and night but at night they get real puffy when the moonlight comes on for 45 min before lights out. I fed them the other day and they seemed to puff right up!

Would love to see photos of that

I will for sure try to get a couple nice ones when moonlight is on tonight. It’s actually pretty neat looking. A bright yellow “eye” while the rest of the polyp is see through. I’m real excited to get them to color up!

I took these this morning!

Slowly but surely they are coming back to life.

I took this one this morning. It’s a little better quality then the last one.
