Hi,
I have a Blue Bipinnate Sea Fan(Pseudopterogorgia bipannata) that has been in my tank since the beginning of December. All was going well. For the least 5 days or so the polyps have not extended at all. Is this normal? Nothing has really changed in that time.

SG 1.025
Temp 79
Alk 8.0
Calc 390
Mag 1300

It's been in a high light/high flow area of the tank

It's likely preparing to shed its skin. Just leave it alone.
