Does this frogspawn look like it is open too much? It opens every day like this, while my others aren’t quite as, inflated looking. Needs more light?

On some corals over inflation can be a sign that it’s stressed.. after a period of time like this they will sometimes start dropping branches which I think has been theorized to be a method of self preservation the idea being the branch floats away and maybe settles in a more favorable location to repopulate. tell us about your tank.. parameters, lighting, filtration and age

Over-inflation in euphyllia can be a sign that light intensity is too high. I moved my octo after it did this for a while.
 
I noticed the flow really effects the way my frog spawn opens. If it's getting very little flow it tends to inflate large and isnt as attractive. When I changed the angle of my aqua mai to keep detritus from settling on my sand bed it got more compacted and moved more with the flow. I qouodnt blast it with a power head or anything but definatly needs some flow in my case anyways.
