I've had my plate for about 4-5 months now. It's color looks good, it eats well when I feed it, there are no areas of exposed skeleton.
I've seen pictures of other people's plates where they look super fat and meaty, and mine never looks even close to that full. At night, the tentacles get a little bigger and its "skin" fills in a little, but not nearly to the extent I've seen in other pictures. Is this just because of a difference in species? I'm pretty certain mine is some kind of Fungia spp and not a Cycloseris. I love my plate and I want to make sure it is healthy...
Here's what I'm talking about...
1st - my plate during the day
2nd - my plate looking about as fat as he ever does
3rd - a nice fat plate... (in Triggerjay's tank)
