Leptoseris looks surprised! Mouthes open!

[fox0521]

Hello! This is more of a sharing post unless anyone suggests I there is need for concern.

I’ve got a jack-o-lantern leptoseris and I noticed it’s tiny mouths open the other day. I had never noticed this behavior before and it’s all closed up and back to normal now! The coral seems to be growing well (second picture is from 12/2 for reference!), and has good coloration. I figured it was just eating since it was open just while my gold head sleeper goby was busy sifting sand and throwing who knows what into the water column, but I had never seen this coral “eat” like this before. Anyway, assuming all is well, I hope you enjoy the pics! Thanks!

That is cool. Maybe they just saw that pickup truck with a step in the tailgate commercial. I don't want to post commercials here so it's a truck brand with a 3 initial name. Yes I still watch TV in real time and have to sit through commercials.

Sorry. I almost never watch TV in real time anymore. Even sports shows I want to see, I record them and don't start watching them until it's far enough along so that I can skip the commercials and down time.
