    Just feed it at the right time and it should survive.... what are your water param? Temperature and oxygen level plus the amount of time that you keep your lights on are an important factor too...

    It looks fine to me. It's just expelling waste. My lobo did that and when I first saw it, I was nervous too, but it's just the mouth opening wider. The coral will also inflate and shrink, so dont worry about that. It looks healthy, you just caught it at a bad time.
