mine changes from day to day, it will also change depending on where it is in the tank. Some times it doesn't like the flow, some times a hermit has walked across it, some times it doesn't like the lighting, some times the water is too dirty, and some times its too clean (yea its possible). Its crazy stuff, a lot of fun and if you're not careful it takes off like a weed. wouldn't be worried unless it starts melting. It won't live in my sps tank, but will live in my other two... go figure. Also don't ever pay for the stuff if you can avoid it, if you have a local aquarist club most reefers are willing to give it away free. Heck I've shipped the stuff out of state priority in the summer, fall, and spring and had it live, I only charged postage.

Xenia's can act funny sometimes if too much flow is on mine they do that.
