    Ok I got this coral a few days ago. I am not sure if this is normal or not.. Is this what it looks like when its feeding? Or is something wrong?

    its called a sweeper tentacle nothing to worry about, try to keep other corals out of the sweeper tentacles range, if i was told correctly they can sting other corals but im not sure what the list of what stings what doesn't is

    i think that is when its feeding, your lucky to be seeing that it is a sign of a healthy invert
