Maybe Kenya tree putting it's head on rock at night

[keithmeseroll]

Hey my name's Keith. New to saltwater. I have a soft coral that has a thin stem and branches on the top. I think it's a Kenya tree but not 100% sure at this point. At night the stem bends over and the polyps close up. During the day it straightens up and the polyps come out. Kind of reminds me of an ostrich. Is that normal?

Some of the leathers will behave like that, have a photo for us?

Also, hey and welcome!

Mine did that almost nightly. Looked like a deflated sack of potatoes. It always came and went when it came down to it.

This.

Softies are pretty known to react to lighting cycles.

I love my kenya but most hate them because the weed like growth.

My sinularia does the same.
