    It's all good. I am from California and there it means you are old. I appreciate the intent though. When you are in your 40's I guess it brings on a whole new meaning.

    Not unusual clownfish can nip off the tips.

    Just keep bumping the thread hopefully someone else will have a better idea of why the coral looks so inflated. Other than that small piece it still looks the same?

    Not receeding from the skeleton?

    I looked on google and from everything I read It looks like fluid exchange, but there were a few diffrent sights that staten it might be getting readdy to spit into another head, has a infection (which has a symptoms of brown jelly being produced) and is trying to fight it off, or is trying to get rid ov over absorbed trce elements. LOL I am no expert by any means and hope this helped but it does look good :)

    I googled swollen frogspawn and I read on another forum that it expands to catch more light. Idk if that's my problem, I've got a 4bulb t5ho. Although it is 3/4 of the way down, should I move it up some maybe?
