    I just got a new Frogspawn yesterday and just wanted to make sure it looks OK. Earlier today it was opened up and extended much better it kinda closed up a little tonight. Is it normal for it to do this? Maybe it's because the daylights have been on for about 11 hours now and it's ready for lights out?

    So the tank lights are off now and right now it's just the skeleton and the pink buds of the frogspawn. From what you said this is normal right?

    Yes, thats normal

    the Torch in My Avatator - after lights are out for 1 hour, looks like a dead coral skeleton
    same with my bubble corals, hardly any flesh visible at all
    the day after back out as normal

    yep, looks fine. And euphyllias will retract randomly throughout the day, so sounds normal.
