new colt coral swollen!

[aquaguy24]

i just got a new colt coral and put it in my tank..just left the atinics on and it was lookin great just like it was at the lfs.an hour later i turned on the daylights..after sittin under the daylights for 2 hours the colt coral started gettin swollen and puffy lookin..the color turned a little grayish..but this moring when i woke up it look normal agian..but as soon as i turn on my daylights it started to look puffy agian on some parts..my other corals still look normal..which are gsp,green zoos,mushroom ric.i have an aquapod 24g with stock lighting.all the parameters are normals as always. running for 3 months.doing great...do i have anything to worry about or is it normal for a colt coral to do this when in a new tank?

Sounds normal to me. Corals will inflate more when the day lights are on.

okay i know y it gets puffy..everytime i feed my fish the polyps retract and the coral just inflates then return back to normalwith in an hour or so.....does anyone know y it does that?..i feed my fish with formula one and brine shrimp flakes.

when it inflates, it is taking in water and nutrients. this si how many corals eat.

fine does that the time.. if i touch it with the cleaner or the cleaner shrimp goes on it. it gets mad at me and goes into hide mode.. all closes up.. and look yucky.... but don't' worry i did and just found it was normal..
