| Smile Maker   | Re: is the normal??? This looks more like a cynarina species (donut coral, meat coral etc) than an open brain. It looks like it's in a partial state of inflation or deflation. It should either completly inflate or deflate in the coming hours.

if have you performed a water change or made any changes to the water? these types of coral will frequently inflate/deflate as scott mentioned to adjust to water parameters
