Is this normal?

Hi there reef tank lovers

i was wondering if this is normal behavior?
I noticed my torch coral at night become all swollen up until its tentacles’ base
It looks pretty scary to me as if it is sick?

Torches do that when they ‘shut down’ at night. As long as it’s not staying like that through the day, then it’s ok.
