    Normal or not? Just making sure it's not something that's like redbugs on SPS. Just being cautious.

    From where the dark spots are placed, it looks like in the same area of each tip, I would say that is something normal for your coral.

    The coral is pretty shrunk down today. Not sure it's doing so well. We'll see in a week or so if it perks back up.

    They go through spells where they shrink down and puff up.

    The shrinking is normal for the Kenya. The dark spots, I'm not too sure about. Don't think it's anything too serious tho.
