    So I got some Dream D's and Purple People Eater Palys a few days ago shipped from Cali. Everybody looks great but these two in particular are turning convex and pushing their skirts downward. Is this a problem?
    Thanks for your help 3reef!

    it actually also happened to our candy apple red palys and they did it for about 2 weeks then just randomly stopped. it was only a few of the polyps that would randomly do it each day. the first one is a dream dees that was doing great when we got it but now its doing the same thing. yesterday we got the ppe polyps in the second pic and now they joined in too. We have several polyps of all sorts of zoos and palys all but these two are perfectly fine and happy... weirdest thing ever... just worried about what it could be?
