reduced polyp extension

[zakman]

Hello, im new here but some of you may know me from here http://www.toofishy.com/forum/index.php you may even reconize a few names on there. you can also find my tank pics in the members galery.

on this sps http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=6400264 ive been nopolyps arent extending all the way in anly a few spots mainly on the side thats in the shade. the polyps arent fully contracted i just see like dark colored circles like the polyp is just sticking out a little bit. i cant get pics now but i will try very soon. what could be wrong?

oh ya i just checked my parameters all is perfect.

hmm that was pretty interesting.

something i forgot to add i add zoomax zooplankton every other day could this cause less extension during the day? i was reading and it says they come out more at night. ill have to look tonight.

thanks

EDIT: wierd today all the polyps looked completly extended? it looks really healthy now EXCEPT for a little patch.
