i have a rbta which has been doing great along with my other corals and fish. Yesterday cam home and it looked weird. all green and tentacles shriveled. Today it seems fine and back 2 normal. Just wondering if this is normal or someone can shed some light on the subject, thanks.

what lights do you have?

 

[pmui]

it's normal, it could have been some thing was irritating it and it expelled it from it's body.

Yeah its normal. Mine do that from time to time. Its only a problem if they stay shrivled for an extended period of time.

+1 Normal. They seem to do this in cycles -- mine tends to do it every few days for a few hours. It's alarming, but normal. IIRC it's done to help expel waste.

its normal. they expand and contract with water as they feel, something was probably irritating it ath that moment. I would only worry if it does it for several days.
